It is a huge pleasure to write a supremely favorable recommendation for Nina Contini-Melis. An excellent communicator in five languages, before my arrival she provided excellent directions to reach her home from CDG airport. A charming hostess and serious professional photographer, she resides in a well situated and handsomely appointed flat located close to the Place de la Bastille, filled with a collection of original works of art from Italy, Greece, France, Egypt, Japan, the United States, France and elsewhere assembled during a sophisticated and well-lived life, which includes her talents as an accomplished hostess. I look forward to returning as her guest in several weeks and recommend her highly and without reservation.
