Marie was an excellent host. She was very prompt in response and communication was excellent throughout our stay. She had excellent recommendations for our first stay in Paris. Her home is in an excellent location within short walking distance of anything we needed, cafes, food, transportation, etc. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. As noted in the listing the apartment is up a few flights of very narrow stairs, so if you have any bulky luggage it can be a bit cumbersome, however that is no fault of Marie's. We had an excellent visit and would certainly consider staying here again if we are back in Paris.
