We cannot say enough wonderful things about this home and its hosts. Jean and Caroline bent over backwards to make our Christmas in Paris a memorable experience and we are so thankful. They are warm and hospitable, and have quick response times. Their home is beautiful and comfortable and in the perfect location in Paris. It's within walking distance to many attractions (it's around the corner from Notre Dame, which even though it's closed, it still worth seeing), and a short walk to Saint Chapelle. The Metro was closed, due to the strike, but it is also within a short walk from the house. We spent much time on the nearby island of Saint Louis where we found a wonderful bakery and fromagerie, a small grocery store for incidentals, and a number of restaurants, including the fantastic ice cream shop Berthillon. Since we were there over the holidays, the Hotel De Ville had a fun Christmas market and was just a short walk from the apartment (you see the hotel from the apartment). The apartment itself has been beautifully renovated and is comfortable to come back to after a long day sightseeing. Since it has a washer/dryer combo inside the apartment, we were able to fit our whole family of four into one suitcase and just bring enough for a few days, since we could wash clothes as we needed them. We also cooked meals in the kitchen when we didn't feel like going out, which is very convenient. Even though the home has stone walls and tile flooring, it was very warm and had plenty of hot water. The windows let in plenty of natural light, and the apartment is very clean. I would definitely stay at this home again and highly recommend it to others.
