Marie and Antonio should be given an exemplary hosts award :) They're both communicative and attentive.

We (wife and I) have arrived in Paris around noon. We were informed that Antonio is going to be home by 1 pm, so we decided to go straight to their house to leave our bags and freshen up, before going out. We were given a warm welcome upon arrival, given the keys and all the essentials. We asked about the latest hour we could come back for the night - considering the fact they live in the house, and were told we could come back as late as we wanted. We didn't stretch this, and came back around midnight. Our stay in Paris was for two nights, so we planned to see as much as we could. Not to waste too much time on getting around, we chose to spend each night in a different part of the city. Therefore, we left their house the next day. We were told we could leave our bags for a while, so we did. We visited the Eiffel Tower, came back to take our belongings and said our au revoir.

In summary, the apartment isn't really big - ample sized rooms (one is occupied by the hosts), small kitchen and bathroom, but the bed (mattress and pillows) is quite comfortable. You have your privacy and the most important thing is, that Champs de Mars and Tour Eiffel are just 15 to 20 min walk from the apartment. Again, they are a great couple and I wish we had time to interact with them more. Maybe in the future ;)

P.S. Antonio speaks French, English, Spanish and something else - I forgot. Marie speaks French, English and possibly Japanese. Antonio, Marie, correct me if I'm wrong please.

THANKS GUYS!!!
