Marie's apartment is in an excellent location (with two boulangeries visible from the apartment window!), close to the seine and rue mouffetard. She was very helpful with everything we needed--a picnic blanket, a map--and continually offered to help with directions and to lend us things that might assist us in our stay. Marie lives right next door, so communication was easy. Her apartment was clean and somewhat small, perfectly adequate for the two of us for a week. She has basic cooking equipment there too, so we could prepare some meals in the kitchenette. I would stay at her apartment again.
