Marie was a great and responsive host who took the time to meet us at the train station and walk us to her flat. The flat itself looks just like the photos: spacious, bright and very tastefully decorated and furnished. There is an excellent bakery on the corner, and its just a short walk to metro stations and the north end of canal st martin. Since its close to Gare du Nord, travel in and out of the city is easy. I would recommend this apartment to anyone. Merci Marie!
