We have just returned from our first visit to Paris and a most enjoyable 8 day stay in this beautiful Parisian home. Joy is a most accommodating and helpful host - we were welcomed with a personal note and some goodies in the fridge. The home is beautifully appointed, full of light and charm, with so many thoughtful details to make our stay comfortable - from the modern, well equipped kitchen, to the assorted Paris guide books and maps, and even some electric outlet converters. We really appreciated the host guide book to help us find local shops, grocers, restaurants and activities - and referenced it often. The home is in a beautiful area full of shops, restaurants, and the charming Luxembourg Park. With a taxi stand, metro stop, and Velib Bike stands nearby - we found transport to all areas of Paris easy to find and navigate. Yet, the home is quiet, serene, and restful - and a wonderful place to return to after busy days exploring all the Paris sights!
