Marine's apartment and room was as advertised: a very livable space, with a friendly welcome (from her flat mates, as she was not around when I was there) and laid back attitude, a very decent used double bed (important to me, being around 6'3" or 1.9m tall), in a pretty central location near the metro (which can get you just about anywhere in Paris) and some good local food options, and with sufficient amenities to make a good home base from which you can explore one of the world's greatest cities, all for a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend this spot to a friend, or try to stay there again if/when I want to make a return visit without spending a lot more money on a hotel.
