Marie est une personne très agréable, je la recommande complètement.
Elle parle couramment français et anglaisFebruary 2020
Marie è un host molto accogliente e disponibile. Anche se la sistemazione a casa sua è promiscua ,lei è riservata e cerca di lasciare spazio al tuo privato.La casa è in una ottima posizione per gli spostamenti con i mezzi pubblici. Personalmente consiglio questa sistemazione ad una persona singola.
