While I never got the chance to actually meet him, Tom was a perfect host and his home was immaculate and ideal for this stay in Paris. So much in fact.... I extended for an additional day!
Tom was away on winter holiday when I arrived, but still arranged for an early and streamlined check-in. Stephen who manages the home for Tom was warm and happy and swift with walk-through then left me to my own devices.
Photos speak for themselves; it's a gorgeous comfortable space, pretty quite by Paris standards, with a full kitchen which I needed since I was baking "American style" pies during my weekend for a dinner party with friends across town. The Metro just meters away, one of the best Dim Sum spots in city few minutes walk from flat, grocery down the block, and a modern luxury of a prompt elevator in building for someone like myself who always overpacks and doesn't want to lug suitcase up those beautiful winding Parisian staircases. Perfect spot to call home for a few days.
I'll be back. Merci!
