We loved our old style French appartment. It has such a lovely feel, with antique pieces, herringbone floors & tall tall windows. There were 7 in our party and we had plenty of space. We tried quite a few of the suggestions from the Host Guide book, and enjoyed all of them. My fondest memory is of the delightful cleaner, who was just leaving when we arrived, but stayed to help me make a dinner reservation for 12 (which at the last minute is always tricky). She was kindness personified.
