Spent a lovely Christmas stay at Francois' apartment. Francois was an excellent host, flexible and accommodating, even though I booked at the last minute. The apartment is really nice and in a great neighborhood of the Marais. Walking out the door is the Marche Enfants Rouge, which is a great place to grab a bite or a drink with different national cuisines. This part of the 3rd Arrondisement is full of gems - nice restaurants and cafes, like the May Celeste, and speakeasys like the Red Door.
The view from the apartment and the bathroom was also a big winner, looking out over the tops of the city to see a bit of the monuments and landmarks as you're having your morning coffee or a glass of wine. Very nice place to spend a holiday visit, and a top host in Francois.
