Our stay in Paris was fantastic -- and returning to Ari's apartment after being out all day was a delight. It was by far the best place we've stayed in. First, the neighborhood is perfect. quiet, yet close to metro, food shops and boutiques. Upscale bohemian. The generous size, practical layout, comfortable sofa and bed made us feel we were actually living in Paris in our own apartment. The kitchen was well equipped. But also very important to us--Ari's careful and frequent communication made meeting up with him at the apartment on arrival very easy and apprehension free. We appreciated the careful thought and style Ari's created in this apartment in the Marias.
