Samuel made my father and I feel very welcome in his home despite not being there on our arrival. His friend showed us the apartment and was very warm and incredibly helpful. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well-equipped and gave us, as foreigners, insight into life as a Parisian. The view of the Eiffel Tower was also one of my highlights! We arrived on a Sunday evening and found that local restaurants that were open were few and far between, however on consequent evenings the lovely street corner restaurants were buzzing with activity.
