Pierre was a great host! I had to do a last minute booking and he was able to accommodate. Place was huge and spotless! The metro and and major trains were easily accessible. The apt is ground level so you hear cars passing but it's a pretty quiet street so not a big deal. Short walk to Le Marais, short metro ride to most tourist areas, great food near Bastille. Really awesome place and great host! Would stay here again on next trip to Paris.
