Rachel and Olivier were top-notch hosts. Rachel gave me an in-depth map and recommendations for sights and top restaurants. As well she pointed out the “Passages”, which are cool shopping arcades that you can easily miss if you don’t know about them. The neighborhood is super convenient to the major sights. I walked to the Louvre, Champs Elysee, Eiffel Tower, Madeline, Orangerie, D’Orsay, Invalides, Monmartre and more, all within about 20 mins. If you’re not as big a walker as I am, there’s a metro stop two blocks away.

The flat itself was very clean and attractively decorated. Lovely to retire to after a long day of exploring the city. Watching the twilight fall over the rooftops, with a glass of something soothing! C’est tres speciale!

I would definitely repeat a stay here.

Oh, I was almost late for my flight but Olivier gently reminded me of the time constraints on my last morning there, and then accompanied me to the train station to make sure I got on the right train. Thanks Olivier! (And this was after Rachel had served up a delicious hot farewell breakfast. Thanks Rachel!).
