I stayed at Vinciane and Frank's studio during June. They were very welcoming – helping me with my bags and leaving me a bottle of wine upon arrival. They take pride in their property and shared some history on the building which was nice.

The location was very convenient– surrounded by bistros and cafes – just around the corner from Saint Paul Cathedral in the Marais. I was able to walk to most sites including Vosges Plaza, Notre Dame, Pompidou Center, and the Louvre. A metro station is around the corner about a half a block away (not the two as another poster mentioned) which made going farther easy.

It was the perfect place to base a stay in Paris. The only thing that might be an issue for some is that it is on the third floor (there is no elevator). I didn't have a problem with this and enjoyed having my own little apartment complete with kitchen and a bar.

I recommend staying with these nice folks. They'll give you tips on were to eat and might even show you some of Frank's cool robot sculptures!
