I went to Paris with one of my best friends for my 40th birthday. Even in the middle of winter it was amazing. David's studio is a beautiful refuge in the middle of it all - cafes line the streets, church bells ring, the river and train are only blocks away.... you get used to the stairs after the 3rd day ;) And David was a gracious host - carried up luggage, had flowers and wine and coffee for us. I would recommend 'David's place' to anyone.
