My friend and I stayed at Marianne's place for 2 weeks in October and had a wonderful experience. It is actually 2 apartments made into one and so extremely spacious for Paris. I slept on the pull out couch bed and was very comfortable, as were the other 2 beds. The bathroom is large with a clever drop down drying rack, 2 sinks, a lovely tub/shower, and a washing machine. The toilet is in a separate room which is convenient. The lighting is very good, and there is also a lot of light from large, often floor to ceiling windows in every room. The kitchen is great, fully equipped, and Marianne generously left many small necessaries for us which saved us buying a ton of stuff for such a short time such as spices, oil, butter, yoghurt, paper towels, toilet paper, pasta, flour, tin foil and plastic wrap, etc. The apartment is very beautiful and full of fascinating objects from Marianne's many travels. The furniture is comfortable and very nice, a mixture of modern and classic antiques. Just a few blocks away are major shopping streets with your own local baker, butcher, cheese store, fishmonger, plus several small super markets, plus shoe and clothing stores, etc. This is a great neighborhood with friendly people, a good diversity, a true community feel, full of small cafes and restaurants. The apartment is less than 5 minutes from the #11 Metro line connecting to all of Paris, plus there are a lot of local buses. We very much enjoyed being in Paris but in our own smaller and less hectic and far less touristy neighborhood. Several wonderful parks are within walking distance, the most amazing being the Parc des Buttes de Chaumonts with a small Greek temple across a bridge, and a cascading waterfall! Marianne is an amazing host, extremely helpful, caring, and easily available to communicate. I highly recommend this Airbnb!!
