Martine welcomed us with great snacks and a well-stocked kitchen that we enjoyed during our stay. She had lots of space for us to store our luggage and clothes so we could feel at home, rather than live out of suitcases. The apartment is cheerful and bright and has a bath that is large by Paris standards; it was also well-updated. The location was close to two Metro stations from which we were able to get anywhere in Paris quite easily, but it is also in walking distance of the Louvre, the Seine, and the Marais area. Martine is a lovely and gracious hostess who went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.
