Our stay at Marie's Paris apartment was a complete success. From the start, we knew from the write ups and photos on airbnb that we would love the apartment, the location across from the Luxembourg Gardens, and the neighborhood itself. When we arrived, everything exceeded our highest expectations.
Marie was at the apartment when we arrived and was absolutely fantastic...she showed us everything, helped us with our bags, and was absolutely thorough about telling us everything we needed to know about the apartment and she even gave us a wonderful map which showed us all of the places we might like including restaurants, bakeries, food stores and historic sights in the area. My husband and I were a bit worried about using the Metro but Marie explained how to navigate the system and made us feel so comfortable that we actually used it all the time. Marie said to call her anytime on her mobile and it was nice to know that she was there to help us.
We have to say that Marie and Jean Paul were the very best of hosts ---friendly, helpful and considerate --- always available but never intrusive. Jean Paul (with limited English and Phil, with even more limited French )even helped Phil print out our boarding passes.
We would give these wonderful hosts and their beautiful apartment five stars in every category!
