Staying with Alice was such a joy and a pleasurable experience. I had the chance to visit Paris for the second time with it being my mom's first trip to France. Alice welcomed us and was quick to tell us that she could fashion her couch for me to sleep on since I was traveling with my mom.
When we arrived at her place, Alice popped her head out the window and let us know we'd found her apartment. She then brought out a fresh cake and loaf of bread she baked for us along with coffee - it tasted wonderful!
She consistently helped us with all of our plans. She informed us of how to travel, which buses to take, and tips for seeing certain sights. Keep in mind, nearly all of this communication is done using Google translate and my limited French abilities:) Alice also took us out to an evening market where we had fantastic ice cream and visited some interesting decor shops.
Alice also made our last day staying with her as easy as possible. She encouraged us to keep our luggage at her place while we enjoyed our last day and gave us some final cheesecake before my mom and I embarked on our trip to the airport.
Overall, Alice proves to be the reason why I choose Airbnb over hostels. Thanks so much and I hope to see you again soon, Alice!
