Sam’s place is beautiful and stylish. Every single thing has been thoughtfully chosen and it was a delight to stay there.
We really enjoyed being part of a “real” neighborhood too and out of the tourist areas. Sam made an extra special effort to accommodate my severe allergies and asthma by washing and cleaning in toxin-free materials before our arrival which I really appreciated.
There was also no evidence of smoke in the apartment and Sam had assured me when booking no guests could smoke there. I was particularly happy about that because I found many other places I looked at allowed smoking. Can be difficult to find in Paris!
The only things that we think could be improved is to make his guestbook/guide as beautiful and welcoming as the apartment itself and ensure check-out processes are clear in advance. We had to leave early unexpectedly and suddenly realised we didn’t know what we needed to do to check-out. We also should have checked this when we met Sam at check-in.
Overall, we had a wonderful time in Paris and Sam is a gracious host.
