Our excitement grew as the cab approached and when we saw all the wonderful shops, restaurants and cafes that were VERY close to the house!
Let me say, the pictures barely do this place justice !
Eva was very accommodating when I requested a slightly later check in time due to our travel plans.
As we walked in we were immediately in love. This house was so quaint and (even though this was our first time in the city) felt quintessentially Parisian.
The bedroom was very comfortable and we both enjoyed having hot baths and sipping wine with the sounds of the city filtering through the skylight.. The living room and kitchen were very spacious and the large windows allowed for a generous amount of natural light.
First thing in the morning I walked to the corner market located 30 feet away from the front door and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of great produce and fruit, and the freshest eggs!
I love to cook and started the day off with breakfast using the kitchen complete with a gas stove top!!
As we ventured out into the city we appreciated the convenience of our location! Aside from the variety in the immediate neighborhood, we found that we were but a 5-10 minute walk from any number of destinations. If we didn't feel like walking, or were dressed up for a nice dinner cruise on the Seine, our cab fares never exceeded 8-10 euro!
On the last night of our trip, I'm ashamed to say, I misplaced the KEYS!! Luckily we had friends in town and a place to stay the rest of the night.
I know that my mistake caused Eva to have a very complicated day considering she had new guests arriving that afternoon, and probably had to change the locks. When we met her to retrieve our things and check out, she was so sweet to us and never acted frustrated or put out by the situation. I was a little embarrassed and her kindness really made the situation feel better for us.
Thanks Eva!
