Marie's apartment is nicely decorated and clean. Her room feels very lived in, with photos and personal effects and touches. It has a good shower and its own private balcony. It definitely feels like her room and not like a normal guest room. The area felt very upmarket and safe and was very quiet at night which was perfect for us. Marie left us her recommendations for local cafes and bars which is always helpful when you arrive somewhere new. Marie has two housemates although we did not see or hear them during our stay.
