Our host met us when we arrived and served us cold drinks, including apple juice for the children. She spent time showing us around, making sure we knew how everything worked. She left us some food, wine and cider. Her apartment is lovely, in a wonderful location for exploring Paris. It is near gardens to walk in, a wonderful jogging trail, metro stops and the Seine. It is also close to Place des Vosges, an area we visited frequently and loved. She left us good maps and suggestions, including good restaurant ideas.
The kitchen was well-supplied with appliances, a dishwasher, utensils, coffee-maker, etc.
The apartment felt very much like a home, including toys for children and very interesting/attractive fixtures. All in all, it was a charming place to stay in.
