Marine’s place is absolutely beautiful and has an amazing balcony overlooking downtown Paris and the Eiffel Tower. She even has some nice decorative lights on the balcony that make it a very enjoyable place to spend the evening. We ate every meal on the balcony! All the amenities worked great as well! We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the apartment and her hospitality. She was very easy to communicate with and we never waited long for a response. She made sure the apartment had soap, detergent, toilet paper, and clean linens. She also was very flexible with times for checking in and out. She also gave us a couple of contacts in case we couldn’t reach her. The apartment is on the 8th floor with a small elevator. It’s only a 5-7 minute walk to the Nation metro station. From Nation, the line 1 will get you to most of the attractions on the river. There are several grocery stores very close by. Our favorite (Monoprix) was about a 15 minute walk, but there are many much closer. Franprix is a 1 minute walk. Very convenient location! We loved our week in Paris at Marine’s!
