This was the first time my wife and I stayed in Paris, so being close to cafes, sites, transportation, etc. was important to us. Marie's flat did not disappoint. We loved the Rue Cler area. It was safe, quiet at night, and central to all of the things we wanted to do. The flat itself was exactly as pictured: small and cozy, clean, and with an updated bathroom. Marie's friend welcomed us as she was out of town, but this was all explained ahead of time, and her friend even left us with an umbrella as rain was in the forecast. Marie was always quick to respond to questions through the messenger and made us feel welcome even without actually meeting her.
