Barbara is a gracious and helpful host. She met us when we arrived and spent considerable time walking us through the house and explaining where things are in the neighborhood. We were a group of 4 adults and 5 children ages 9-12 and we were very comfortable. We were very glad that we rented a house as it provided everyone with the ability to spread out and have some alone time after spending long days exploring together. Barbara's house feels very French and truly added to our experience. Every morning we walked to a nearby boulangerie and brought pastries back to the house for breakfast, and we made dinner almost every night after visiting the market. The house was very close to the metro station and we had no trouble getting around. We had a wonderful time despite 6 days of rain and the children did not want to go back home!
