This home is so enchanting, I am half-tempted to keep it a secret. My two grown daughters and I stayed here for 6 days in March. The home had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable as well as charming. We loved all the windows and the creative use of reclaimed art, woodwork and stained glass throughout the home. The bath was wonderful - and for three women to be able to take hot showers back to back is a five star experience anywhere. The use of public transit is extremely easy in this area - especially when beginning with Stephanie's directions from CDG. We went to the nearby street market on Rue Daguerre for some staples - fruit, vegetables, cheese and wine. We stopped at every bakery Stephanie recommended in her home's book - and enjoyed every one. Be aware of the number of steps you need to descend to get to the home -- that was just a little challenging with suitcases but quite manageable. Also - if staying in the winter, be sure to keep the downstairs inside door closed to keep the heat in. We were a bit careless about that (you know us Americans) on the first night and found it made a huge difference in warmth. We did not get the chance to sit in the garden, but definitely enjoyed the view of it from within the home -even with it not in bloom.
