Marie is a wonderful host, she helped me book tickets, gave great advice, and her apartment is in a fantastic part of the city -- Marais! Her place is very neat and tidy, clean and orderly. It's small, but that just adds to the charm of staying in the city center. It's true about the climb to the 4th floor but that's also part of the charm and a good workout to burn off those calories from the great nearby restaurants. I definitely enjoyed my stay and recommend Marie's comfy sofa.
