Let me start with my prior trip experience. Other than responsive communication about booking, reservation, charges, location etc…,well, I was glad it went smoothly. However, while line up our restaurant reservations, I got problem with Le Vieux Chalet, I wanted to go several times I was up in Montmartre but couldn’t get in because I didn’t have reservation.
I couldn’t book online, no website, no email, no French to call, I went ahead and just asked Cristina. Problem solved. She knew the restaurant right away, asked me if I wanted inside or garden, and made the reservation for us. Thank God. Inexpensive simple good French food. What a gem.
Then came arrival, we arrived earlier than the check in time, I went ahead and asked Cristina, no problem again, what a sweet host.
Then the apartment, just blown us away, sparkling clean, roomy, tastefully decorated. You could tell the rich cultural background of the Cristina’s family.
Then the location, my most favorite from my trips in Paris. Awesome Erik Kayser Boulangerie, Maison Guyard Charcuterie, Androuet Fromager, Nicolas Wine Shop, market, restaurants, and Monoprix literally steps from the apartment. Or just cross the Royal Bridge, there’s beautiful Tuileries Garden, Louvre, and Shopppingggg. Or you can walk down to shop in Saint Germaine de Pres, Saint Michelle, Quartier Latin. We didn’t have time for Musee D’Orsay, behind the apartment, that’s for our next time at Christina’s place.
If you don’t mind climbing the stairs, no elevator, I would believe you would fell in love with the apartment like we did.
