It was a real privilege to stay in this charming apartment in an elegant building overlooking the Seine. Eric was a fabulous host, meeting us on time and sharing his tips for the area with great enthusiasm. The apartment itself is a delight, full of books and objets that give it a real lived-in feel, so different from the sterile anonymity of a hotel room. It was really easy to get around central Paris from here with a Metro stop practically outside the door and a Velib station a couple of hundred metres away. Eric gave us good advice on local restaurants and other amenities, including his hand-drawn map of the neighbourhood. My only regret was that we weren’t staying longer. Sitting on the balcony watching the river and the life of Paris passing belong was a truly memorable experience. Thanks Eric for letting us share your home.
