Staying at Marine’s place was a real treat. The apartment is lovely, very quiet, overlooking a courtyard away from the street. The apartment is very well organized, with a lot of art and stylish touches. The futon bed is very comfortable, and the bathroom has a good size. The place is ideally located, a 5-minute walk away from the République metro stop (with many metro lines), and steps away from the trendy Canal Saint-Martin. The neighborhood is authentic and with some trendy streaks, and overall very good stores and restaurant options. Last but not least, Marine was a great host, very friendly and attentive to our comfort, and with great communications before, during and after our stay.
