I just arrived home in the U.S. after having stayed at Romain's Paris apartment for a week. I am already longing to be back in that apartment! Leaning out the window to the right gave me a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower (especially lovely at night) and a lean to the left had me peering at the Rodin museum. I couldn't have asked for an apartment in a better jumping off spot. It is perhaps a 15 minute walk to one of my favorite streets in Paris, le Rue Cler. Surely a street not to be missed with its wonderful markets! Romain's apartment was so comfortable. I always worry about whether I will sleep well when not in my bed but the beds were so comfortable (and with linen sheets) that I slept like a baby (in fact, I have a picture of my mother when she was passed out and not moving for 12 hours). The apartment is fully stocked and has everything you would need. There is a cutting board (for those daily fresh baguettes), a great assortment of utensils, glasses, and plates. There are even a great number of pots and pans if you desire to stay in and not dine at one of wonderful restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is nicely appointed with very comfortable furniture, wonderful kitchen and baths, good hot water (always important), a TV (not that we even turned it on), and great storage space (closet and chests of drawers). Romain's sister greeted me upon my arrival and showed me around the apartment and was always available if I had any questions (a treasure Romain is lucky to have). What I miss most, is walking on the antique wooden floor of the apartment and listening to the sound my feet made against the wood. Paris is always a good idea and staying in Romain's apartment while in Paris is an even better one.
