Sarah has this gorgeous castle in the pretty much centered location in Paris. Even with the public transport closure due to strike during our entire stay there, it wasn't much of a trouble to get around by walk. In Sarah's word, "Paris is small !!" The house itself is a complete mansion with 2 levels and a huge living room. Our bed room is on the 2nd floor with private bathroom, where most of amenities were provided, except the laundry is done via laundromat outside the house in 5mins walk. As my 3 year old was travelling with me, Sarah even provided the baby shampoo and body wash for him!
There is a rich collection of books, games, music instruments and art pieces in the house, making it the most lively house I've visited, not sure if it's typical Parisian style. Sarah's family is highly educated, talking to them was a lot fun and enriching. There were quite a few travel tips from Sarah which really made our 1 week stay in Paris fruitful!
