We had a wonderful stay at Marilou's place. Our flight into Paris arrived very early in the morning, and Marilou and her son Clement were happy to accommodate that. Marilou was still getting the place ready for us, so Clement took us to a nearby coffee place and gave us a few tips on the neighborhood. It was such a nice thing to do!
The neighborhood is fantastic! Lots of great restaurants and bakeries, very close to multiple metro stations, and several markets - both traditional outdoor French markets and supermarkets. The apartment is nice, although the bathroom and kitchen are very small. The front room can be a bit noisy, but none of that noise gets to the bedroom, and the bed was very comfortable. We had a great stay and would certainly consider it again!
