Florence was an amazing host, kind, friendly, and a very thoughtful person. I was extremely busy before my trip to Paris, so I didn't have much time to plan out what I would do in Paris. All I had were a 4~5 names of places that I wanted to visit. When I arrived at her place, she helped me plan out the order of the places to visit, to maximize the efficiency of my days, and also showed me exactly how to get to the places by subway/walking. She even made reservations at a few restaurants that she and her husband personally know, and wrote down on a card her husband's name for me to give to the waitress when I get there, so that they would treat me well even if I don't speak French. I found that this helps, there were a couple other places where I had gone to on my own, and I was "ignored" because I don't speak French.
Her place is about a 10~15 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, and is in a nice neighbourhood. I woke up in the middle of the night due to jet lag, so I took a walk to the Eiffel Tower at 5:30 a.m., and it was a very nice walk. There are also quite a few "brasseries" in the main street right in front of her place, which served pretty good food and beer. Those places were nice to just relax and have a beer in the evening.
Overall, my trip to Paris was a memorable one, and staying at Florence's place definitely helped to make this possible.
