After searching high and low for the right place to spend my time in Paris, I came across this magical listing. 1000 Secrets......I never wanted to leave. Not only did this amazing and special place become my home for two weeks, the beautiful hosts Stephanie and Juan Carlos are now close friends. This holiday in this unforgettable city, in this unforgettable Attic enclave has been the best getaway I've had in a very long time. From the ever so comfortable beds to the cozy living room where we lit the candles every night, to the perfect soundtrack played by Paris' local radio station that Stephanie left for us. I took bubble baths and drank Hazzlenut coffee in my guest bathrobe. The home was decorated in perfect Parisian flair full of an eclectic ambience that made me melt each time I entered the room.
This isn't even mentioning the district the flat is located in. The chic and all encompassing Haute Marais is THE place to be where the old way of Parisian life is still alive. No tourists traps and American shops, but quaint cobblestone streets full of artisan boutiques and antiquities. The restaurants around each corner were so charming and delicious. I often picked up a bunch of grapes at the end of my day and munched them in the way home.
I can't imagine not staying there for each and every time I return to Paris, which will be soon as now I have new friends and a neighborhood I now keep dreaming about.
