We chose Marie’s apartment for the price and the access to transit as we explored Paris. Marie herself was very responsive and helpful, especially when the transit workers struck in protest. The kitchen was small but very serviceable, the beds comfortable. The washer/drying rack worked fine for us.
But the bonus was the location itself. We always had access to transit - even amid a strike - and the Porte Dorée shops and weekly market (Thursdays and Sundays) made it so fun to live there for the week. It’s a very walkable neighborhood. Great to return to after a day of exploring the city of light.
