Aude, our hostess, made us feel welcome from our first communication. Her communications were timely and her responses contained all of the information we requested and more. She perfectly described the best way to get to her flat from the airport, how to get into the building and the wonderful property manager who would greet us. When we realized that we might be met with rain during our stay, and that we were traveling from India where umbrellas are rarely needed, we asked if there would be any in the flat. Aude had a friend bring one to us!

The listing description was perfect. The photos online show exactly what is there and how the home is set up. It was perfect. The flat is beautiful, tastefully decorated, full of light, quiet and warm. The beds were comfortable and everything worked. Whenever we had any questions, the property manager was there to help. We loved this place!

The neighborhood is beautiful. Downstairs is a small cinema, a bakery, a wine shop and a grocery store which carried everything we needed, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and dry goods. We visited the bakery each morning for fresh and delicious croissants. The neighborhood also included a wide variety of restaurants and cafes along with shops and services. Everything from McDonald's to high end french dining, as well as restaurants from around the world. You could shop for chocolates, clothing, camping gear and bikes. You could get a beautiful haircut and other self-indulging services. You could sit for hours at a cafe or hop on the metro or bus and go anywhere in the city you would like. It was so easy. We will definitely contact Aude before planning our next trip to the amazing city of Paris. Thank you, Aude, for providing a place of peace and respite.
