Our goal was to live like a Parisian and Chris’s place helped us achieve that. It was our first trip abroad and our anxiety was high, all that went away when Chris met us at the apartment-he lives right across the hall. The apartment is very secure. He showed us the local stores and provided some metro tickets. He was immediately available when the power went out due to the rain -fixed the tripped breaker. The apartment was clean and comfortable and suited our needs as a quiet place to rest after a long day of sightseeing. At the end of our stay he greeted us again and provided a little token figurine as a parting gift. It was a wonderful stay…thank you, Chris!
