Marie was responsive and welcoming and is a lovely person. The apartment is charming and very comfortable. Very quiet on a tree-lined street walking distance to everything you could need. Marie was so caring that when I arrived late from the airport and was ready to open a can of sardines, she offered me a plate of food (which was delicious!) I was very busy so we did not connect again, so I missed learning more about her. As a traveler herself, she knows what travelers need to feel at home with her many personal touches. She did a great orientation for me to the neighborhood so I could make my way. And the bed is super comfortable!
