Samia made me feel very welcome from the moment I arrived. I had come straight from C de G airport with her clear instructions on the use of the RER (B) and the bus from Gare du Nord. All very simple. My room with double bed was comfortable, the room itself light, extremely clean and thought out (- same for the lovely sitting area and bathroom) with a good file of local information, Euro electrical plugs and towels etc. Quiet and very restful - perfect. The living area was used only by me for very homely breakfasts - perfect to start my day and several fun chats with my hostess to exchange information or to learn more on where to go etc. I did not use the local restaurants but was well aware Samia could put me right if required. I would love to return to Paris soon and if so will be return Chez Samia if a vacancy permits!
