We had a warm and most enjoyable stay with Liliane and Jean-Marie in their ideally located, fifth-floor Paris flat (with massive wooden doors off the square that lead into a fantastic courtyard) included a small nook of a bedroom that we understand is typical of Paris apartments. Their kindness and presence and willingness to be “in community” with us made the time a delight, and we even got to know their daughter and her husband and children, who gave us a flavor of French family life that we so appreciated. We had croissants and baguettes, which Liliane daily fetched for us, wonderful coffee, jams, and juice every morning. She and Jean-Marie were available with tips and directions and needed explanations at every turn. As we were in the middle of a three-week European trip, we had significant luggage, which really crowded our small bedroom, and there was only a coat rack for hanging our clothes and no place in which to unpack our belongings. But we largely overlooked this for the pleasure of the pleasing artiness of the room and the entire space and the larger experience this very wonderful couple provided. Just know what to expect! An experience of Parisian life is what we wanted in choosing this Airbnb, and that’s what we got!
