Patricias flat was an absolutely tremendous experience. Communication was instantaneous regarding any concern, no matter how trivial. It’s definitely nerve wracking trying to find your way in a very busy foreign city but her instructions are so concise and accurate that I looked like I knew exactly what I was doing! The apartment is unbelievably charming, belongs in a magazine, and the location is perfect. Super secure due to the state department and government offices nearby so police presence is very very prevalent. I felt great about that, being as we live in an age of uncertain security. The location was walking distance, even with 2 small kids in tow to everything. The Louvre, Eiffel Tower and all of the glitz and glamour spots. I was very hesitant to bring kids overseas to such a busy place but it was truly fantastic. We will be coming back.
