Marie’s place is in a pretty ideal location. I did have issues communicating with her regarding check in, so I had to wait and figure things out. Her housekeeper showed up without warning midway through my stay, so I had to make her wait on the staircase while I awkwardly hurried to leave the place for her to clean. There were strands of hair in the fridge, and when I asked for instructions on operating the TV, the host was MIA. The location, however, was terrific. 20-minute walk to the Louvre; 15 to Les Marais. There’s a great view, and a lot of cool, funky surrounding bars. The host just needs to be more responsive next time.
