We had a very pleasant stay in Nani's apartment in the Marais. Nani was a very supportive and helpful host, beginning with advice on how to travel to the apartment during a railway workers' strike. He gave valuable advice on visiting the weekly market nearby at the Bastille on the day of our arrival; we stocked up on delicious cheese, fruits, bread and pastries and enjoyed the festive atmosphere. He also informed us of a huge music festival in our area on June 21, involving hundreds of performers in dozens of locations.
The apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious with many kitchen appliances and a washing machine. The beds were comfortable. The apartment is in an inner courtyard back from the street and was very quiet (except during the music festival). We slept well.
The Bastille Metro station is nearby and convenient to reach many tourist sites.
