What a fantastic stay we had in Paris with the wonderful Jose and Carmen! We had a simple amazing time at this incredible apartment! A fortunate turn of events since Jose and Carmen stayed with us at our our AirBNB residence in New York in late 2011, we welcomed the opportunity to stay with them in return for our trip to France in July 2012. Our first night in Paris was in a hotel and the following two nights with Jose and Carmen - however we wished our entire stay could have been with this wonderful couple in their truly remarkable home! Jose and Carmen could not do more to make our stay more comfortable. From many clear directions to sights we wished to see, we were made to feel so welcome in this gorgeous and delightfully decorated home on the top floor. And the views from their house are truly breathtaking and must be seen to be believed! The Eiffel tower is in full view - and the Sacre Cour feels so close you could reach out and touch it. The Moulin Rouge is just footsteps away and wandering the many cheese, fruit, olive and gift shops and bakeries of Rue des Martyrs kept us entertained for an entire afternoon. The apartmentis ideally located with the metro just a few moments away, and with so many places to see within walking distance. Jose and Carmen's place is spacious, comfortable and has an obvious warm and welcoming atmopshere because of these two amazing and wonderful hosts. We are now fortunate enough to call Jose and Carmen our friends and look forward to spending more time with each other in our respective cities!
