I felt welcomed as a guest by Clara. She provided croissants & wine as a welcoming response to receiving me & my friends & family upon our arrival. The discription of the place was as I had read about it prior to staying there, it was centrally located to many site seeing attractions, the metro system was easy access. A guide book was prepared by the host which enhanced my experience of touring about the city. Clara was easily reached by e-mail befor & during my stay.
