Marielle and Pierre were great hosts - love the detail that they left for us to know the area for food, shopping and getting around. Also had info on how-to's around the apartment, but we were out and about much of the time and didn't use the apartment much.
Staying in the neighborhood and on a tucked-away street made for a quiet stay. Phew! In a large city, this can be a problem, but not at all in Marielle's apartment. With a couple of Metro stops in the area, we found no need to rent a car during our visit.
We headed out in the morning and came back well after dinner, so not much of a chance to visit with our hosts, but helpful and quick to respond as needed.
