Best place! Alain was an attentive and helpful host both before we arrived and during our stay. His apartment is charming and ideally located within Le Marais. I stayed there with my two teenage daughters and found it to be the perfect size (I slept on the pull out sofa which was very comfortable, and my girls shared the queen size bed). The space is charming, quiet, bright and clean -- just as many reviewers remarked. I also can confirm that it is at the top of 104 steps. This only added to the charm :) I can't wait to stay here again some day! Thank you Alain!
