Excellent stay. Marianne's place is comfortable, quiet, well-equipped, and with a great location - as first time visitors to Paris, it was the perfect place for us to use as a base for exploring the city. The apartment is on the 5th floor (6th floor for you non-Europeans) and there is now a small lift in the apartment building to help you get your bags up to the apartment. Everything you could ever want for a Paris stay is within easy walking distance - Markets, cafes, restaurants, boulangeries, parks, and of course the metro.
