Eric is called a superhost for all the right reasons. He was very communicative and made the check-in process so easy . His house cleaner was waiting in the apartment for us when we arrived. We immediately felt at home in his spacious living room and super comfy bedroom. The apartment is centrally located on a small one block side street in the midst of the hip part of the Marais with a large (for Paris) modern elevator. Although we journeyed all over the city and beyond, we rarely left the neighborhood to eat dinner since we were within steps of the entrance to a quality open air market (as pictured) with tasty Moroccan food and fresh veggies/fruit/fish, to a rotisserie chicken take-out shop on the main street and to a nouvelle french cuisine restaurant on the block (which I recommend). The supermarket & pharmacy is just right around the corner. Easy access to various metro stops within 2-3 blocks of the apartment or a 15-20 minute walk to the major museums. The kitchen is basic but accurately shown in the pic.... and we had everything we needed. The only thing I would mention is that Eric's description of the noise from the bar might be a factor for those sensitive to noise. We just kept the window closed on the nights the bar was open & used the fan when it was warm....and slept through the night without using any ear-plugs. Thanks Eric
