Marie's place is fabulous. Just fabulous. It's a great apartment with beautiful, full sized front windows overlooking the lively street below. And Marie has it decorated with great pieces and finds from cool furniture and lighting, art books and records. The flat has also been updated with all the amenities - a renovated bathroom with a rain shower and updated kitchen with lovely cabinetry and even a dishwasher. And the location is superb - one of the best neighborhoods in Paris! A perfect place to explore all the finds of a great city. Even though the flat is located on a central, lively street, the bedroom is tucked into the back, keeping it quiet for a great night's sleep (and the blackout curtains definitely help!). I would recommend Marie's place without a single reservation. Charming, hip, comfortable. And Marie was a wonderfully responsive host on top of it all. Thank you, Marie, for such a wonderful stay.
