I highly recommend Claude's apartment in the Marais. It was comfortable, elegant, and very well equipped with everything. The neighborhood is close to metro lines, restaurants, and markets, but on a quiet street. Claude greeted us on arriving and departing and made sure we had all the information we needed, including recommendations for restaurants. The air conditioning was a really nice feature as temperatures were in the 90's during our brief visit. I would definitely stay again and for much longer!
