Marc was an excellent host. The apartment is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Marc and Barbara have a great sense of style and the decor is elegant, accurately portrayed in the photos. It felt like home for our family of 5 for a one week stay. We cooked three dinners in the kitchen and found it to be well equipped. The location is great, in the center of the Marais, convenient to shopping and to the Metro-- St. Paul, line 1, with easy walks to Ile St. Louis and Notre Dome. There is a great market on Thursdays and Sundays nearby.
I booked several months in advance and Marc was always prompt in responding to questions. He was waiting for us on our arrival and helped with recommendations for gluten free restaurants, and with a cab transfer to the airport. We have rented in Paris for a week or two at a time for the past 5 years, and this is our favorite apartment and host.
