Location, location, location. Maririanne's place is two blocks from a metro stop (which you can take to the airport or many places in the city, seconds from the canal, and central to everything. We felt like we pretty much just operated on a 20 minute walking radius from the place the whole time we were there. I can't imagine a better spot. Maririanne was incredibly communicative and having a flexible check in was amazing after a red eye. The place has a beautiful balcony and is very cozy and nice.
