Martine could not have been more lovely. We had our previous host cancel on us an hour before we arrived in Paris and we were in a panic. She made us feel welcome in the space, answered all of our questions, provided maps etc., and was available when we called. The apartment is spacious and comfortable (the kitchen is huge!) with great windows, and a washer/dryer. However it is on a very busy street - so it was louder at night than we expected.
