The apartment is even more impressive in person. It is impeccably clean, spacious and warm. Marie has made sure that it has everything you need to feel at home during your stay. She gave us some great tips on neighborhood spots that you wouldn't normally find in guidebooks. It was Jazzfest weekend and she was very helpful in showing us how to get around. The location is in a neighborhood which could be described as young and trendy plus it is near parks and great restaurants. Although we had a car, it is a short walk to the metro station and there is a bike station right across the street. Marie and her daughter easy to stay in touch with and were there to greet us when we arrived. We highly recommend Marie's apartment.
