Everything about our stay at Martine's place was wonderful. We were welcomed warmly and provided with everything that was needed upon arrival. This wasn't much of a sightseeing trip, so we ended up spending a lot of time just relaxing around the apartment; luckily it's quite cozy, and a wonderful place to pass couple of rainy days. We cooked plenty of meals in, and never lacked for any utensil necessary. Close by were plenty of restaurants, a nice wine shop, and a grocery store just on the next block. There's quick and easy access to the metro, and the view of the Eiffel Tower from the terrace at night was wonderful. Again, this trip was more about spending time with friends that I rarely get to see. I knew we'd be spending plenty of time in, so I wanted a place that felt inviting, warm, and comfortable. Martine and her lovely apartment hit the nail on the head, and I would gladly, and will most definitely try, to stay here again one day.
