We stayed in Martine's beautiful, book-filled apartment for four days in October of 2014. We had several last-minute changes in our arrival time, and Martine was very gracious and flexible about that. When we did arrive, she spent a great deal of time with us, making sure that we understood where everything was in the apartment, and how everything worked. She has prepared excellent written information with details on how to use the washing machine, where to dispose of recyclables, etc. She also has a list of supermarkets, recommended restaurants, etc. Although only a few blocks away from the Eiffel Tower, the neighborhood is quiet. Highly recommended.
