Lovely family!!! Florence is a wonderful host. She and her husband Oliver are fluent in English but happy to help you with your French. They are extremely knowledgeable of the area, the best way to get around, where things are, etc. If you have a plan, they can help you; if you don’t have a plan, they can help you!

I appreciated the security of the building and the location is excellent if you want easy access to the main Paris sights; metro is just around the corner (and bus line also). You have your own bedroom with dresser/chest of drawers for your clothes, desk, chair and lots of interesting books, soft bed and large window to view street below. You get to share the bathroom and kitchen which made me feel like I was “just staying with friends.” They were very accommodating in giving me a shelf in the fridge and a shelf in the cupboard.

They live several flights up but there is a “lift” (elevator) if you prefer that.
