This apartment and it’s very gracious hostess pushed our delightful Paris vacation over the top! Our experience began well; the apartment was obviously clean and appointed to be comfortable and easy for the international traveler. Breakfast the next morning was traditional, we were told, and delicious! And each day, it was something new to discover and enjoy. We found the apartment was right in the middle of the sites we wanted to see. It had just the right combination of room to spread out in the evening and comfort and privacy in our own space.
But our hostess! So very hospitable! She knows how to leave her guests alone. But she proved ready to be very helpful. We enjoyed that she was prepared to explain the sights nearby, suggested good places to eat out, taught us how to navigate in Paris, filled in the “stuff” that’s not in the guidebooks, explained the French to us, and introduced us to others in the community. I am surprised at how intensely I feel now “I want to go back” every time someone asks “How was France?”
