My daughter and I were on vacation in Paris for 1 week and we had nice stay with Nina in her home.
Nina is an amazing host, her home is a fantastic value, full of mementos and furnishings from her travels around the world, located in a central part of Bastille with a lovely garden but still provided a quiet place to stay in.
Nina was a pleasure to talk to, gave us a thorough orientation of her home, provided us with very good recommendations and was home to greet us almost every evening.
Her home was super close to many restaurants, cafes and bakeries, metro stations, grocery store and neighborhood markets and great shopping. We found a pharmacy just around the corner for our Pass Sanitaire, there was a place to get a Covid test across the street from that, one of my favorite breakfast places Le Pain Cotidien was literally downstairs, Cafe de L’Industrie and Rue de Lappe with its multiple options of bars was so close by. It was a great little neighborhood!
Our room was cozy and clean with giant windows, all original fixtures, looking out to a wonderful view. We had access to a large closet, 2 chairs, long mirror and a small desk with a lamp. We were out and about every day so it was not super important for us to have and pay for space. We had a private cozy bathroom that was well renovated with a shower and all were super clean. Wifi was strong- we were able to access and stream with no problems.
We were able to use Nina’s kitchen, refrigerator and kitchenware to make sandwiches for our days out. Freshly ground and brewed coffee and tea were made available to us. She also did our laundry for us! We felt very much at home.
Thank you again Nina for making our vacation in Paris a very enjoyable one.
