We had considered renting a full place to ourselves, believing it would be a better Parisian experience, but I must say that staying at Stephanie's was the best decision we made. Check-in was simple and flexible. Stephanie was always prompt answering our questions. She went above and beyond by recommending and helping us make a reservation at the perfect Parisian restaurant (locals only, delicious, and affordable). The room was very clean..we had all we needed! Towels, our own in-room Nespresso with enough coffee pods, tea, Madeline cookies (they were amazing). Having two washroom sinks was a bonus so that getting ready/going to bed was quicker. Also having the toilet in a separate bathroom than the sinks/shower was also extremely helpful! The location was perfect - nearby metro's, walking distance to the Seine, Notre-Dame, etc. The room was also quiet, even with the window open for fresh cool air, so after a long day and need for a good sleep (the bed was also really comfortable).
We had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie and also caught her once more on our way home - otherwise, you'd never know she was home (quiet as a mouse).
Thanks for being a wonderful host Stephanie! We'll be back! :)
