Martine's apartment is huge, by Paris standards, spotless and perfectly located for experiencing le vrai Paris. It is in a quiet neighborhood, close to bus, metro, two great boulangeries (one up Gobelins from Croulebarbe and the other, L'essentiel, on Blanqui), and many bon et pas cher cafes. We were happy to be off the usual tourist tracks in a truly Parisian neighborhood. Martine's communication was prompt and clear. We were grateful for Daniele's flexibility. She was to meet us at the apartment. Our flight was significantly delayed and she met us late at night, with a bottle of much appreciated rose in the Frig! We hope to return next year for a longer stay.
