Rachel was the perfect host. She acquainted me with the apartment, had maps on hand and told me of her favourite food spots in the neighbourhood and routes to secret passages ways and beautiful gardens. There is lots of tasty things to eat within a few blocks range around the apartment. Rachel and her family are very caring people and invited into their home for tea and chats. She checked in on me often and made sure I was OK as there were some tragic events happening in Paris while I was there. It was good to feel that she was looking out for me. I hope that she will come with her family to visit me in Toronto as I would love to show her the same hospitality that she showed me.
