Melissa was so patient and communicative as our arrival in Paris was not only at 7:45 am, but we were two hours late in arriving at her apt due to traffic and a slow border control line. She was so friendly, so welcoming, so gracious, as she showed us how to work the doors to the courtyard and to the apt, where to find everything and even asked us if we'd received her tips and suggestions for eating and finding great spots for my husband's sweet tooth. This was my fifth trip to Paris and my husband, my husband and I are New Yorkers, and we are also hosts through our home in East Hampton. We were so tired after our first day that we were drinking so much coffee that I needed to ask Melissa where to buy more Nespresso pods and she offered to come to restock. She need not have done that and we did not expect it at all but we were so grateful after a very long day spent on a bike tour in Versailles. Melissa's apt is quiet, clean, comfortable, and in THE most convenient spot in all of Paris. It was lovely to walk around the neighborhood, easy to access Metro lines and when all else fails, so romantic to walk right outside and look up at the iconic Eiffel Tower. She made us feel welcome, has decorated the apt in the most beautiful touches for a purely Parisian feel. If you want to feel as if you are a citizen of this beautiful city and step into a time when cafe' society dominated and intellectuals and writers flocked to Paris, then rent this apt. You will be delighted and do as many have done before you and 'get lost in the beauty of Paris and find yourself.' Thank you, Melissa!
