This is a great apartment. It is comfortable, spacious and impeccably clean. We loved it! . We didn't meet Marianne but she was always easy to contact . I arrived first and was met by Mme Lia, Marianne's friend who was very friendly and helpful . There are 2 metro stations nearby and it is easy to get around by bus as well. We got lovely bread and croissants in the morning just round the corner on rue de Belleville. There is also a great market at the place des Fetes. We would happily stay here again.
