A great place to stay in the 19th! Marie José was unflustered when our arrival was delayed by two hours and greeted us with genuine warmth. The apartment is exactly as pictured and described in the listing. Sparkling clean, extremely comfortable bed, great water pressure, very quiet. We appreciated all the little extras, such as milk, butter, and juice in the refrigerator, and plenty of coffee pods. Kitchen has all you need to prepare simple meals, and there are loads of inexpensive ethnic food options within a couple of blocks, as well as two grocery stores, a pharmacy, a laundromat, a cash machine, and a wine store. Best of all, the metro stop is literally half a block away so even though there are few real tourist attractions in the immediate area, you can effortlessly connect to anyplace in the city. The neighborhood may not appeal to those with an overly-romanticized idea of Paris -- it's an active, working class, multi-cultural milieu. But we truly enjoyed staying in the middle of "real life" with easy access to the ancient center. Marie-José's place is an excellent value for the money. I recommend it highly!
