We did not meet Marianne, however she was very friendly and prompt on e-mail, while Laurence who met us on arrival was very helpful and friendly showing us a map of the local area with recommendations. The apartment is in a fantastic spot, very close to Odeon train station, in a quiet street one street back from a main road, and easily accessible to multiple shops, restaurants, patisseries, etc. The apartment itself was very clean and a perfect size for our family of 4, while we appreciated some basic essentials being left for us (i.e. tea, coffee, milk, etc.). This was our 1st airbnb experience, and a memorable one. Thanks!
