From the moment we made the reservation up until our greeter (Lu) handed us the keys, we knew we were in for a special experience. Ariane is the quintessential host, ensuring all our needs were met and promptly answered our questions prior to arrival. Thank you Ariane for allowing us into your home for a week. There were four of us and the apartment was as described and more (it was PERFECT!)….it felt like home with lots of living space and a great kitchen. Your place is an easy distance (walk/Metros) to the places on our “must see” list, and it’s in a neighbourhood with that 'everyday life' we wanted to experience; sitting in a cafe and watching people rushing to work, kids being shuffled to school, people getting their groceries for the day. Life. The people are great and while the neighbourhood, its shops and amenities may not be on hundreds of tiresome and overrated “Paris Top 10” lists….that suited us just fine! It gave us the Paris we wanted. The 15th is a wonderful secret with the best bistrot (La Cantine du Troquet Dupleix) and the staff and selection at Fromages et Detail are divine. Everything was on our doorstep. Your tips were very helpful too! Thank you Ariane and thank you Paris! Until next time....
