We were greeted by Eric, who showed us around the beautiful flat that he lives in with Caroline and let us experience for the weekend. I've lived in Paris before, and for me, this flat has all of the perks of a Parisian pied-a-terre (great light, beautiful wooden floors, lovely furniture, views of the Parisian rooftops) with few of the drawbacks (because the flat opens out onto an internal courtyard, you are not disturbed by the chatter of smokers or the buzzing of mopeds late at night).

We really enjoyed our stay in Eric and Caroline's home and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. I was feeling quite poorly (after a long week of work) when I arrived on Friday night, and Eric did everything possible to make me feel better, including leaving details for his local doctor, just in case. All in all, they were great hosts!
