When we travel and stay in hotels we always leave with a tourists perspective. Seeing Paris from Juliette's place was a wonderful way to truly experience the city. She gave us recommendations of her favorite places to eat etc...and we were able to navigate to the sights and attractions that we wanted to see.
It was great coming back to a clean comfortable apartment with wonderful urban outdoor space. We were able to take a cat nap on the outdoor furniture after a day of site seeing and then off for some night life.
