We recently stayed for the weekend at Martine's flat. It was as described, as it offered a more local experience! The flat was very clean, stylish, well-stocked, and had all the amenities a traveller requires. Situated in a hip and happening part of the city - there's a plethora of restaurants, bars, patisserie shops, clothing stores, grocers nearby; and a very short walk to the metro. The windows fully open throughout the apartment, so you can take in the sights and sounds from the street; but there are curtains, if you prefer, to shield you from the morning sunlight. They were very accommodating for when we had to check-in later than expected due to a delayed flight; and we were able to check out with ease. Would recommend if you are looking for that "living like a local" experience!
