Maririanne's charming and comfortable apartment is full of character (and lots of her vibrant paintings) with excellent facilities - we had a lot of fun cooking delicious things we got from the food-market. The location is amazing - a quiet street but very short walks to lots of the central attractions and to the Metro and bike-hire locations for going further afield. It worked really well for me attending a conference at the Bella Centre, as well as exploring the city (from the opera, to swimming in the harbour, and having lunch in the meat-packing district.)
Maririanne was a most helpful and responsive host.
