Maria is a gracious host. She provided us with valuable advice about cultural events in Paris and helped us to get tickets for a wonderful show. A bottle of wine was on the table, as we arrived. The accommodation is comfortable, clean, very quiet, and spacious enough for two traveling companions or a family of three. First floor location makes it easy for older travelers. Location is absolutely perfect - at the heart of La Marais, with good restaurants, easy access to metro and walking distance to most of tourist attractions.
