Martine's place is cosy and cute. It is small but contains all the amenities you need. To get to the city center you need to transfer between lines on the metro and it'll take you about 30 mins. There is a bar across the street which generated a lot of noise until 2-3 am. The stairs and hallway to the apartment were dark at night. The hospitality was superb with nice touches left for breakfast and tea/coffee.
