We had a really great time at Boris's apartment in The Marais. It is an incredibly ergonomic design which provides a family of 5 ample space to move around in. Beds are comfortable, appliances are modern and the central heating makes everyone toasty warm in winter. Boris supplied us with fresh coffee and orange juice on arrival which I thought was a nice touch. The best thing is you are right in the heart of food heaven. The patisseries in the area are plentiful, cheese shops, good cafes. Boris recommended a restaurant around the corner which was right on the money for French food. I also recommend Chez Janou about 8 blocks away. When it comes to French restaurants, this joint is the package. Great atmosphere and terrific food and well priced for families. Of course you have to put up with the waiter being an arrogant so and so...but in Paris, you get used to that.
I could not recommend Boris apartment enough. He is an extremely attentive host and his apartment is great value for money.
