We absolutely loved Maria’s studio (and Maria). What a gem! The place is just as described in the ad - very comfortable, a good feeling, impeccably clean and equipped with everything we needed to make our stay great (+ some really good books and CDs that we regretted we had no time to read/listen). The instructions she left for us were very useful and clear and some fruit and a bottle of good French wine completed the sense of being truly welcome. Maria was very friendly, offered us a breakfast at her apartment in the same court-yard the day before we left, and was generally helpful in every way (special thanks for getting that taxi for us when we started despairing, Maria!). The neighbourhood is amazing – so historic and charming and the property is very well situated. In a short time we felt at home and are keen to come back.
