Marie-Laure's lodging is exactly as advertised ! The neighborhood is vibrant but the street is extremely quiet. The apartment faces a courtyard and it's quite easy to see into the neighbors' flats and vice versa so Marie-Laure has really effective shutters and curtains for privacy/sleeping late. The kitchen was well equipped with many pots and pans and a spacious mini-fridge. Marie-Laure herself was very accommodating and greeted me herself, showing me all the particularities of the home--she even sent me a plan for a cool bar crawl to do with my friends ! Overall I had a lovely and calm stay and would recommend this lodging 100%.
