The stay with Martine was above and beyond our expectations. Not only is the apartment lovely and conveniently located near a Metro stop (quick access to the whole city), but Martine is a delightful and attentive host. If you're a courteous and thoughtful traveler, I recommend this stay. We spent three nights in Paris, and had everything we needed in our private room within Martine's shared apartment, including a beautiful balcony with a view of the city. Martine's breakfast and conversation (with her friendly dogs and cat) was easily a highlight of our trip — we cannot wait to return!
