DESIGNERS, COOKS, BOOKWORMS, GREEN THUMBS – STAY HERE!
These two are amazing! Beautiful apartment in a nice location away from really loud touristy neighborhoods, but still close to everything. Right next to a metro and bus stop. They were so kind and took me to an open air market on Saturday morning, and we walked around and then made dinner together that night with what we found. There are no better people in Paris to open a bottle of wine and cook and chat with. Henri also made us crepes with all sorts of toppings for dessert. Dayeon showed us a bunch of her cookbooks, design work, and book collection. She's an absolute sweetheart.
They had great food recommendations that we tried most of, and they have great taste. They are well travelled and have amazing stories about the places they've been.
They speak very good english, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you spoke a bit of french with them ;)
TIP: have them direct you to the Saturday am market, find whats fresh, make up a recipe, and share a meal and a nice bottle of wine with these hosts. You'll be hard pressed to find more hospitable people in France or anywhere else in the world.
