We had a great time staying at Sebastien's place!!! We were informed by our tour guide that Marais is a Jewish and Gay neighborhood, making it one of the most safe, stylish, and cultural areas in the city! We were 1/2 a block from the nearest bike share station, 2 blocks from the metro station, and surrounded by tons of delicious bakeries! What a perfect way to spend a week in Paris! Very small apartment, but perfect for 2 people. Comfy bed and all the basics. No AC, but with the fan and window, that wasn't an issue. Fridge, microwave, and kettle, so basic food preparation was possible. Shower in the room, shared toilet in the hall, but we never saw anyone else, so it was all our own. Sebastien was great at communicating everything we needed before and during our stay! Will definitely be staying again, just have to make it back to Paris!
