Amazing hosts in a beautiful, well-kept home! I feel lucky to have had the honor in staying with such wonderful people. Their kindness and generosity was stunning, and inspirational.
As for the accommodations, the room and private bathroom are secluded, across the flat from all other rooms, and being as it was not street side, it was incredibly quiet ~ no ear plugs needed.
The room is big and beautiful with tons of natural light. Plenty of room for strewing my suitcase and its contents about. The bed, was a queen sized real bed (not a foldout), and was extremely comfy (I enjoyed lounging on it as much as sleeping in it!).
The room included a lovely breakfast table + chairs nook, and upon arrival Mathilde and Jean-Pierre took pains to have a welcoming array of chocolate, biscuits, a bottle of water, crackers and the like!
The bathroom was spotless and large...really large. It was stocked with plenty of towels, soap, hairdryer etc.
The internet worked beautifully in the room, it was fast with a strong signal ~ so grateful for that! And being as the flat was located on the top floor there was no noise above us ~ which was a great bonus.
They offered the use of their kitchen (the coffee machine was wonderful), their washer and dryer (so grateful for those accommodations) and were beyond helpful when I was sorting out where to go, what to see and subsequently how to get where I was going. I highly recommend staying here, as I look forward to visiting them again!
FYI - Their location in the 2nd arondissement was perfect. The metro was a 3 min walk in several directions, making it very easy to get to where you want to go ~ though only a 20 min walk to major museums and other neighborhoods (The Louvre, the Marais area, Parisian covered passages, Sacré-Cœur, and the Montmartre area to name a few places).
Thanks for everything Mathilde and Jean-Pierre!
