We loved Marie-Helen's place! It was in a great location near to several Metro stops. It was very clean and Marie-Helene was a lovely and responsive host. I would just warn other Americans who might not be prepared: there are stairs that would be terribly dangerous for toddlers and the only shower has, in the European fashion, just a hand-held nozzle. For my family, the stairs were not a problem but there was lots of whining about the shower!
