We had such a wonderful stay at Fabien and Caroline’s place! It was perfect for our kids and us— so many lovely books and toys, a terrific kitchen, bedrooms separated on different levels so tweens could sleep in while others could get up early. The large windows and skylights created beautiful lighting even during our rain-filled winter week. The neighborhood was quiet and quite residential— making us feel a part of the city, rather than merely tourists— and there are many excellent boulangeries, grocers, restaurants, and children’s playgrounds within a few blocks. The metro was also very close, making it simple to get nearly everywhere. But we most appreciated the extremely kind hosts, who communicated quickly and clearly, helped us check in early, and loaned us warm clothing after all of our checked bags failed to arrive. Everything about this stay was charming.
