Wendy was very communicative throughout the entire process: when we were inquiring about her home she quickly responded and at the end after we left she messaged me saying that we had left something behind. While we did not get to meet her in person, her housekeeper's daughter (who spoke good English) welcomed us to the house. Wendy had left a few welcome gifts (baguettes, jam and sparkling wine). Wendy also helped us book taxis to/from the airport (although the taxi that was supposed to pick us up at the airport was not there--our flight arrived late-- we managed to go to the taxi stand and paid 50 EUR for a taxi to the house). The house is great for a large family (especially for small children). We have two toddlers and there was always something new and exciting for them to play with. The kitchen is fully-stocked with all cooking utensils needed (although no microwave). The neighborhood is an up-n-coming, diverse area in Paris, the house is about 2-3 blocks from all of the shops you need (bakery, cheese shop, butcher, supermarket). The metro stop (Jourdain) is also about a 10 minutes walk.
