There is so much I could say about the entire trip, but I must say first: if you want to have a good time anywhere, it's all about location. Location. Location. Location. Romain ' s area of town was an ideal spot for a first time goer like my wife because it gave her the flare and dazzle of the city all at the convenience of a few blocks from home. And talk about the host! A true gentleman and all around great guy. Taking time to make sure we felt welcomed in a strange and new city by showing us highlights of his neighborhood and giving us a first hand guide of what the city holds in store for us from top line eateries to historic points of interest all located within walking distance from his apartment. Romain also remained in contact with us during our stay just to make sure we had everything we needed and if there was anything we had questions with along the way which was great too. It showed his true interest in making sure we were getting the most out of our trip possible which you definitely can't get from a hotel, or just anyone in general. He was really a remarkable host throughout our vacation. Now as for his apartment; just the right size for a couple to spend a week or two in. Comfortable and homey with a kitchen with all amenities and spaceous living room. A really convenient washing machine located in the bathroom which really helped keep the home feel going rather a hotel. And windows located throughout the apartment which opened to a quite courtyard adorned with plants: a very nice touch with the wonderful weather we had (no AC needed). All in all I couldn't have asked for a better host or place to experience paris.
