Marie is a living encyclopedia about french history and culture and her beautiful large apartment is a museum that shows she has covered the world from corner to corner. I, personally have enjoyed our little chat every morning touching different topics and I got to learn she is a very intellectual and very much on target regarding politics, philosophy, etc…Of course she knows Paris like the palm of her hand and will guide you to any place in Paris better than google weather walking so you can enjoy the old fascinating Parisian buildings or through a beautiful park.
The apartment was very clean, my room was large and the bath had enough towels that I stopped counting. 150 meters from the metro station and many buses go through in front of the building.
The neighborhood is full of cafes and restaurants to cover any taste.
