I had an amazing stay at Marie's place! It was a cozy and homey apartment, fully equipped and although Marie had to go out of town to celebrate Christmas with her family, she still showed me around the neighbourhood and introduced good places for me to get foie gras and camembert and gave me tips and advice around Paris :) It really made me entire trip pleasant and enjoyable and I must say I had a really great time in Paris! The neighbourhood is very safe and shops (food or clothings) are open on Sundays as well. Thank you so much Marie!
