We had a wonderful stay at Melissa's flat in Paris. It's charming, very quiet--on a back courtyard--and has an updated kitchen and bath that add to the overall comfort. It almost seems as if you're staying with a relative (and one with good taste!) The decor is really handsome, including those heavy, lined, floor-to-ceiling French curtains that can be closed at night for sleeping. And the location is ideal. It's within walking distance of so many attractions on the Right Bank (as well as St.- Germain-des-Pres on the Left)--the Grand Palais, the Champs-Elysees, the Louvre, the Orangerie, the Tuileries garden. And nearer at hand is the Hotel des Invalides, with its magnificent stretch of lawn. Melissa also suggested several terrific restaurants in the neighborhood, which we thoroughly enjoyed. A treat in every way!
