I went to Paris for work for a month, and I thought Martine's apartment was a real find. The room I had (there's a couple, and a steady stream of guests) was big, well lit and had great views. I had access to the kitchen, the place is kept very clean, the location is convenient if not the most picturesque part of Paris, and Martine and her daughter are unfailingly polite and accommodating. Martine and her daughter are almost always home and ready to answer whatever question you might have. All in all it was a most productive month, thanks in part to my hosts.
