Marion's place is sweet and cozy, and we will felt quite at home but also charmed by the Parisian environment. The neighborhood is a great find! It stays busy with local foot traffic but has many metro stops nearby to get to touristy areas on the metro. Many families live in the neighborhood but there is still quite a bustling nightlife. The bed is comfortable and the shower gets hot quickly (something I wasn't expecting from an old building!). Marion recommended lovely walks and restaurants close by, and we loved exploring her corner of Paris just as much as the more central areas.
