Marie’s place is in an excellent location overlooking le Jardin du Luxembourg. It is a safe and bustling neighborhood with restaurants and shops. You can walk down to the Seine, Les Deux Magots, and Notre Dame easily. The apartment is very nice and clean. I did not see Marie a lot, but she was friendly and accommodating. One thing to clarify is that the bed in the room with the kitchenette is a trundle bed. It was a little small for my son who is 14. I would highly recommend this location.
