I was very happy to be based at Marielle's place for my first trip to Paris. She is an outstanding host -- warm, friendly, flexible, and responsive. And the location is perfect, close to numerous cafes, bars, and restaurants, including organic/vegetarian ones, and with relatively easy access to at least three metro lines. The neighborhood manages to be both lively and laid-back, and I was always happy to return there. The bed is easier than it may look in the picture; it's also very comfortable. The shower is also good. I would be happy to stay again.
