Excellent stay chez Marie. She is a kind, generous, and thoughtful host. The room itself is lovely, bright and comfortable, and the apartment was very convenient thanks to its location right near Place de la Nation. There were also lots of options in terms of markets, restaurants, bakeries and cafés. The neighbours and local residents are quite friendly, contrary to the (perhaps unfair) Parisian reputation. I am hoping to stay again on my next trip to Paris. I really enjoyed our various conversations and look forward to more. Merci pour tout, Marie!
