My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay in Paris thanks to Julia. She was extremely accommodating since our plans weren’t set in stone until a few days before our arrival, she was also very easy to communicate with as she speaks great English. She met us with the keys and gave us a few lists of places she recommended in the area and info about the apartment, which was awesome. Her place was very cozy and clean (enough to impress a clean freak such as myself). It was the perfect size for us- yes smaller than one would find in the U.S. but by no means too small- and had every amenity you could possibly need. The stairs are a bit of a trek but we were happy to get some exercise after gorging ourselves on pastries for a few days anyway. The location is a little different than places we’ve stayed in the past, but that also turned out to be great since there weren’t crowds of tourists to deal with and it was very quiet so we were able to get some sleep (in Julia’s very comfortable bed). There are also great restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment is a few blocks in either direction from metro stops, which was extremely convenient, and also very easy to reach from the airport. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely stay at Julia’s place again as well as recommend it to anyone who is planning on spending time in Paris.
