After a long trip from the U.S., I was welcomed to a quiet and pleasant stay with Berenice. As I stumbled up to her apartment she was literally simultaneously walking up to greet me and then show me around the apartment.
She speaks perfect English, which was also a relief being as tired as I was. She offered recommendations for where to go and information about the neighborhood.
I had not yet gone to the store to purchase shower gel but she offered for me to use what was in the guest shower which I was very grateful for. The room includes a full size sink and shower and the toilet is just outside the room.
The rooms window opens to a private courtyard which was nice. While I was in the room I’d keep the window open to get some cool air in and the delicious smells from the street were quite a bonus.
The room is simple and not huge, and was perfect for me. The bed was not quite as soft as I’d prefer, but I’m also used to a pillow top mattress. I was still able to sleep quite well.
Thank you, Berenice, for a lovely stay for my first night in France.
