Marine's apartment is small but perfectly suited for a family (we stayed with our two daughters, four and nine). It actually looks much better in real life than on the pictures; there's everything one could possibly need, and it has charm on top.
Marine's place is an amazing value due to its fantastic location right off République, a major hub for public transportation; great cafes and restaurants are all within easy walking distance, and the Canal St. Martin is right around the corner. Marine was a wonderful host and pointed us to lovely restaurants and other things to do. I would recommend this place without any reservations.
