Myriam is an exceptional superhost. She creates a home away from home for you. Not only is there everything you need, Myriam makes sure the things you don’t use often at home but need at some stage, are there. And that ‘some stage’ often comes when you’re travelling or something you’ve forgotten to pack and really don’t want to go out and buy a whole packet just for 1 or 2. Well, Myriam anticipates this e.g. take away containers for packed lunches, makeup remover, spare toothbrushes/toothpaste, bandaids. You need it, Myriam's thought of it.
And the pantry she’s stocked up is amazing…..a great range of spices not just the ones the host likes or what’s left over from other guests, but asian & western spices, breakfast options and milk in the fridge, a great range of teas, noodles, small cartons of soups & more… because she knows you may not be able to get to the supermarket till the next day. She’s also popped some little sweet cakes, snacks & treats after your travels….
And for the studio itself. As Myriam says clearly on her listing, the studio is just for one and I loved it. Light & airy & everything you need is there because she’s designed it to be so. There’s even a way to stow you suitcase away so that it's not on the floor. I really appreciated a proper working desk and comfortable chair with good back support. The lift & lower bed works a treat and bed is very comfortable with nice linen, pillows etc. Lovely hot water with good pressure for a shower in the tiny but very functional bathroom. Good makeup mirror!
I enjoyed coming back to the studio after a day sightseeing and cooking myself dinner as every utensil and aid you need is there at hand.
The metro is very close, lots of great local street bars and restaurants, and St Ambroise has a very relaxed, sociable atmosphere.
Myriam is a great communicator, quick to respond and thorough. She took the trouble to give me detailed answers to my questions leading up to my stay. Questions that the web often can’t answer, especially local knowledge. Next time I’m in Paris I’ll see if I can book her studio again. Thanks Myriam for a wonderful stay. My time in Paris was all the better for it.
