Mac and Julian’s home is a dream. You step in from the bustling Parisian streets to a quiet, impeccably clean home with the most modern amenities. The beds are supremely comfortable, and the shower has a high-end rain shower/handheld combination system. (There is a soaking tub as well, which none of us used.) My husband, 12 yr old son and I had plenty of room and privacy. The location could not be better. We walked to the Louvre, Pere Lachaise Cemetery, the Champs-Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame, Sainte’s Chapel, the Conciergerie and Shakespeare and Company. We easily hailed taxis for the Eiffel Tower, Sacre-Coeur, and Montmartre, but walking is feasible if you have the time. If that weren’t enough—the neighborhood is charming and has everything you need from a post office, to banks, small grocery store, bistros, patisseries and boulangeries. On a final note, Mac was very responsive even after we booked and paid. She answered all our texts, gave me some great shoe shopping advice, and simply made everything seamless. Thank you, Mac and Julian, for a memorable first post-COVID trip abroad.
