Martine is the model of what a great Airbnb hostest/host should be. Friendly, helpful with advice on what to see and do--and how to get around. The apt is exactly as promised on her page; a cozy, spacious place furnished with a very personal touch. My wife and I felt at home immediately. We have visited Paris many times before but this was a new neighborhood for us--quiet, residential, handsome buildings. Restaurants and shops nearby. Doesn't have the buzz of St. Germaine or Marais, but the handy Metro (where three lines converge) gets you anywhere quickly. A pity we only had four nights this time, but enjoyed every minute of the visit.
