I can't say enough good things about Helene, her family and the kindness they showed during our stay when the coronoavirus situation escalated. The location was absolutely excellent. We didn't take the Metro once (as a precaution against the virus) and it was easy to walk everywhere or take a Lime Scooter or other rental bicycle. It was tons of fun getting around that way! We did other AirBnB experiences and they all commented on the great location of where we were staying.
Our trip went off without a hitch until Trump announced a travel ban which was soon followed by Macron closing restaurants and non-essential businesses. Our hosts were SO kind and tried to ensure that not only we were still having fun on our trip but that we were well-fed. They also translated Macron's address for us so we learned when he was implementing a city-wide lockdown. As a result, we had to depart our AirBnB one night early so we could make our flight the next day.
I'm touched by their hospitality and kindness during such a strange and difficult time. When it's safe to travel once again, please don't hesitate choosing Helene's place and supporting their AirBnB business! We had a lot of fun getting to know them and we'd love to visit them again!
