We arrived in Paris during the most extreme heat wave in years. Our host Denise had bought an air conditioning unit and fans to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We were pleasantly surprised when we were greeted with a birthday cake (I had mentioned we would be celebrating our daughter’s birthday), which made us feel very welcome in his home.
The apartment is perfectly located in the middle of just about everything you’d want to see in Paris. A grocery store is literally next door and a bakery and pharmacy are just a few steps away, making our stay all the more convenient. The area is very safe and walking at night with the family was not an issue at all.
We truly felt at home and enjoyed living the life of a Parisian in the heart of the city for a few days.
