The area of Marie-Victor was very accessible to the St. Martin Canal (just walking distance from the place) and to the Colonel Fabien Metro station going to the city center. Just across the area is the St. Louis church and very near the hospital. It is possible to walk to the city center from here but it will take 1 hour at least to go to the main attractions like the Louvre, Arc de Triomph and The Eiffel Tower. The Airbnb of Marie-Victor was good because its fully furnished and you can use the washing machine, coffee machine, cooking ware, VHS players, DVD's, TV and internet as well. Although the internet was a little bit slow, i think it is manageable. Just two blocks away from the left side of the building you will see a grocery store to buy some produce for cooking and if you walk further down the road, you will see the Colonel Fabien where you can get a drink or take a train to downtown Paris. Overall it was a fun experience as it was my first time to take an Airbnb.
