Martine was a lovely hostess. She was quick to respond to all emails and texts. The apartment was very spacious and relaxing with a nice big bathtub. So many books! If you're keen on curling up in a cozy flat with a full library of philosophy, literature, linguistics, history, and art books, you're in luck! The only small quibble is that there is no oven or stove for those who would like to do any serious cooking. But there are so many amazing little restos and cafés in the area that begged visits that we never found ourself missing a full kitchen!
