Marie made me feel extremely welcome, even though I arrived unexpectedly early. She showed me round the apartment and explained where everything was that I'd need. The apartment is absolutely lovely, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. My room was lovely - not large but still perfectly adequate and, best of all, at night it was both dark and extremely quiet so I had a fabulous 8 hours sleep, very unusual for me the first night in a new place. Bathroom was spotless and very stylish - like a 5-star hotel. Marie kindly left a selection of many little items I may have needed, like toothbrush, ear plugs, biro. She's a very thoughtful host and I would definitely stay with her again, given the opportunity.
