The apartment was just as described. It was very comfortable, I liked the sunroofs automatic shutters and the remote for the air conditioning. Marlene has an attention to small details that I really appreciated, offering some basic travel amenities like soaps, travel shaving kits, slippers, and some drinks in the fridge. It was very handy, and I like your style, thank you Marlene!
For tall travellers, there are 2 hanging lights that are around a 6'1" or so clearance. I'm 6'4" (~2m) and definitely did some ducking to avoid them after a couple run ins.
For English speaking travellers, I speak some elementary French and Marlene speaks French-only. When my basic french didn't work, Marlene and I consulted Google translate to communicate. It was a risk and it worked great in the end. Be ready, I think it is worth it!
My checkout day happened upon may 1, and due to labor day, most local major public transit was closed. Marlene was kind enough to offer me another night which I accepted.
Regarding transit, there are 2 velov bike rental stations within 3 blocks. The metro and trams are 5 minutes walking. The public transit is very efficient.
Also the french vinyl records are a treat!
