Marc's beautiful apartment is one of the best (if not THE best) places I've ever stayed in when travelling. I was visiting Paris with my mum, and this apartment allowed us to each have our own room and space during the week we were there. The whole place is really spacious (with high ceilings and loads of communal space), and in a perfect, central part of the city which meant we only ever used the metro once or twice as we could walk everywhere else. The area it's in (Le Marais) is also one of the prettiest, most charming areas I've ever seen in Paris. This was my fourth trip to the city but I'd never before fully understood its appeal - I realise now that I'd just been staying in the wrong part. Also, as an aside, the bathroom was amazing! The shower is seriously the best I've ever had. Marc was the perfect host, and even equipped the flat with a bottle of champagne and fresh roses for our arrival. I would stay here again in a shot - and in fact I'm already trying to work out a way to come back to Paris in 2016!
