I don’t know that we could have asked for a better experience! Zelia was a fabulous host and was accommodating at every turn. Our flight was an early morning flight and she was willing to allow us to check in early for a few. Then the flight was delayed and she was extremely patient and worked with us. She checked us in and gave us a tour as well as local recommendations and helped us get our bearings on what was around us and how to get to places we would need. The flat is AMAZING to say the least and is not only historically charming but is beautifully decorated. We are a family of 5 and it met all of our sleeping, living and cooking needs. The street when you pull up is insanely busy (but not in a bad way) however don’t be alarmed, as soon as you walk through the courtyard doors it is a different world of beautiful courtyards and it is virtually silent. On a side note and was a lesson learned for us, there are mosquitoes… a lot of them. We were blessed with beautiful weather and cool nights and opened the windows. There are no screens on the windows (anywhere in Paris) so the bugs come in and will eat you alive. Luckily we had a couple of rain/drizzle days that calmed it but come prepared with spray or bracelets or something. Finally, sit at the seat in the kitchen by the window and gaze upon the courtyard. I could have stayed there all day with a cup of coffee, it was by far my favorite snuggly zen spot.
