The Best New Year's Eve of my life!
We rented one of the two rooms of the flat for the night of the 31/12, the idea being to have a cosy night in with a stunning view for our first NYE in Paris. Helene wasn't here but her daughter Julia welcomes us in the best possible way, showing us everything, and making us feel at home. We were told to use the fancy glasses, candles, table cloth, etc. to make the perfect evening. The other room was rented to a lovely American couple, whom we met very briefly as they went out that night.
Check-in and check-out were flexible: our eurostar wasn't before 4pm the following day and we could stay in the flat until 3pm, enjoying saucisson and red wine on the sunny balcony, looking at the Eiffel tower.
Celebrating midnight on the 31st with a glass of champagne on the balcony, with the sparkly Eiffel Tower in front of us, and the noise of the crowd in the streets in the unforgettable.
The flat is soo comfortable, warm, and welcoming and the hosts are so generous. I can't recommend Helene's flat highly enough. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Paris, and will recommend to my friends and colleagues in the meantime!
Thank you so much for everything!
