Our trip to Paris was one of the most memorable in our lives. Roman, our host, through his generosity, kindness, and knowledge of the city, greatly added to the success of our trip. Where do I begin? Months ahead of our trip, Roman sent links and suggestions that were invaluable for navigating Paris, finding charming stores and restaurants, and making it all so doable. Thanks to Roman we arrived in the most beautiful city in the world armed with information that allowed us to make the most of our visit. The morning of our arrival, Roman met with my husband and me and gave us a little tour of the neighborhood. His Paris apartment is cozy, quiet, and perfectly located for seeing Paris and experiencing its abundant charms. One block to a metro station, one block to a train station that goes directly to and from the CDG airport made getting around very easy. Also, the apartment is a short walk from many things one comes to Paris to see and do. For instance, we walked to the Pompidou Center (the Georgia O’Keefe exhibit just opened there and is terrific), the Louvre, the Tuileries, Le Marais district, St. Chapelle, St. Eustache and so much more was a walk away. The apartment was surrounded by a vibrant and robust cafe scene that was so enjoyable and so Paris. I could go on but truly to quote Roman quoting Audrey Hepburn, “Paris is always a good idea.” Staying at Roman’s apartment took a good idea and made it better.
