Staying at Marie's was a wonderful experience! The apartment is lovely and very comfortable. The bed is excellent for one or two people. The shower works well and there is plenty of hot water. It is on the second floor of a charming old Parisian building with an elevator in case you pack too much! The location could not be better. It is right across the street from Luxembourg Gardens, right by the Metro, and in walking distance from many attractions and my favorite restaurants in St. Germain and Marais. There is also a restaurant that is not to be missed several doors down- Le Petit Medicis. Marie provides her guests with a list of details (food stores, restaurants, information about public transportation) that is very thoughtful and helpful. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Paris!
