Marie's place was awesome. As a host she was very responsive and provided clear and easy arrival and departure information.
The apartment was a perfect place for our first exploration and discovery of Paris. It is located about 15-30 second walk from the republique metro stop and from there you can easily reach any point in Paris.
The building is nice it felt very secure and the neighborhood was a great balance of activity and local charm. The apartment is nicely designed and decorated there was open space in the closet and empty selves to help you escape the living out of a suitcase feeling.
In addition to the proximity of the metro you can also find several cafes, a grocery store and several ATMs within a 2 minute walk.
We really appreciated the recommendations Marie included in her guide book. Nanashi is a great place to eat lunch or a light dinner.
We recommend this location and Marie has a host with the strongest confidence. This will be our first choice when we return to Paris in the future.
