What a relief it was to arrive at Salim's 'QUIET AND LOVELY APARTMENT ' on Avenue Reille after a personally hectic journey through motorways, airports, and train stations at rush hour! From the RER station stop Cite Universitaire, finding Salim's place was, as we say in English when things get nice and easy, 'a walk in the park'! It just so happens to be about 10 minutes away, taking you through one of the loveliest parks in Paris, Parc Montsouris It provides the most delicious breath of fresh air for any weary traveller, and if you are arriving from CDG airport, it's where your serious relaxation may begin I found the apartment to be a clean, tidy, tasteful, peaceful place to be. Cooling bottles of mineral water in the fridge, and a selection of tea and coffee provides simple but comforting welcome; lovely jams too, reminding you of warm croissants for breakfast! For these and other food items, you may want to visit the local supermarkets - really easy, as Salim has left helpful information as to where and how you may find these, recommended places to eat, and some of the regular tourist hotspots There's also a comprehensive selection of Paris travel books in the living room - saves you having to pack your own (wish I'd remembered this from the Airbnb photograph!) The apartment is nicely positioned. You're close to the Subway, but never bothered by the station 'hustle and bustle' as the peaceful park lies in between Big tourist destinations close to the Seine are only a local bus or a few stops away on the fantastic Metro system. In Salim's area of the 14th arrondissement, you will be able to enjoy a quieter end to your day. I happened to arrive in Paris right in the middle of what some media outlets had made out to be big news... Parisian demonstrations and rail strikes. I'd been led to believe travel may be very difficult and that I might even become 'seriously stuck in Paris'! In fact, I need not have been concerned at all. The services were still running very well, and even if I really had become 'stuck in Paris' then what better place to stay than at the 'Quiet and Lovely Apartment' by the park! ... wonderful classical music collection, many books, and delicious cakes from the local Boulangerie - all very perfect! Of Salim himself... from beginning to end, I always found him to be the most professional, honest and kindly apartment host you could ever hope to meet He was easily contactable but never intrusive, always helpful, and quick to research up to date information, along with offering a reliable and easy background presence should any further essential help be needed Many thanks to you Salim, for helping my stay in Paris run smoothly and happily at a little corner of the world I would love to visit again sometime - 'The Quiet and Lovely Apartment' on Avenue Reille A bientot !...
