My stay with Vesna was exactly what I was hoping for and more! Since this was my first trip to France and I was traveling alone, I really wanted a local host who would truly welcome me and teach me about the culture. That's exactly what I found in Vesna, whom I now consider a friend. She is extremely knowledgable about Paris--she gave me very easy to follow instructions on how to get to her house from the airport via the Air France bus; she instructed me on a good gift to get for a French family I was visiting; and she told me where to get the best macarons in Paris.

I really enjoyed my conversations with Vesna; she's very intelligent and cultured (she speaks 5 languages)! I miss our breakfasts together, munching on fresh bread (baguettes and ficelle) and various jams. She also makes excellent cappuccino.

The bedroom is compact, which was fine for me as I was alone. I loved having a private bathroom. The courtyard and garden are lovely.

The location is great. It's walking distance to metro lines, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower.

Definitely book a stay with Vesna--she will make you feel at home in Paris!
