Our stay in Paris at that beautiful and elegant apartment will be unforgettable. The apartment was light, well-equipped, comfortable and warm. The neighborhood was fantastic--vibrant, energetic, gorgeous, filled with restaurants, cafes, shops and graceful buildings. The canal is a very short walk from the house and is dotted with little cafes and boutiques. It is wonderful to see children play and people enjoying picnics by the canal.
What made our stay unique and unforgetabke, however, was the kindness and friendship offered by Pol, the co-host.
He was wonderfully communicative and helpful during the booking process. When we arrived, however, he offered us nothing short of friendship and genuine care.
Pol carried our very heavy luggage two stories up, checked with us constantly, took us out for coffee, shared his profound knowledge of Paris with us, spent time with us and engaged in meaningful conversations. He even humored us and only spoke French with us, though his English was far better than our French, because he understood our need to improve our French while in France.
I highly recommend this beautiful place that puts you at the heart of a real Parisienne experience.
