Bernadette made clear meeting agreements and was very welcoming. She made a truly excellent dinner suggestion (not swamped by tourists, and actually used by locals) and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. Upon arrival, I found some jam, orange juice and bread in the fridge, which was a really nice touch. The apartment is small (like a lot of French places), but excellent for 1 or 2 visitors. The couch was very comfy to sit and relax on and it was nice to open the door to the private inner garden for some fresh air in the morning. The location of the apartment was excellent, close to a metro station, de Jardin de Plantes and several universities.

I would love to come back again!
