Dear Paris Travelers,
It is with the greatest pleasure for us to share our experience staying at this exceptional home owned by our hosts Isabelle & Emmanuel. From the minute we arrived we knew we had found a special “gem” in the bustling and exciting City of Lights. Our host’s modern apartment is located in a building built in the 16th century in the most convenient, fashionable and accessible neighborhood of Saint Germaine. Our host Emmanuel greeted us with the best welcome one could imagine... providing us with all the apartment’s details and even gave us a tour of the neighborhood, sharing his personal
& historical insight where we staying and valuable tips for the best places to eat, shop and and sightsee. Everything we could ask for was within easy walking distance or a short taxi or ride-sharing car service. In addition, Isabelle & Emmanuel’s home is located on a very private street generally closed for most cars & scooters/bikes near a small, beautiful outdoor park & courtyard. This unique location made our stay special, quiet and convenient... but near all the bustling life and energy of the city. This literally could not have been a more perfect location for all our needs! Now, onto the actual apartment... upon entering this historical building through the original carved wood doors we stepped into an interior courtyard and through the modern steel & glass door leading into our new “home away from home.” The expertly deigned and appointed modern interior gleaming against the backdrop of the old world building was magical. Every detail and modern convenience awaited us and the space was immaculate and appointed with the best linens, appliances, materials, and welcome gifts. We immediately felt we had been invited into a family member’s home and it was clear Isabelle & Emmanuel had taken great care to ensure we felt part of their extended family. The beds were extremely comfortable, better than any hotel we have experienced and the bathrooms, kitchen and common areas provided us with ample space for the four of us to enjoy our time together - but also have our privacy. We have mentioned to numerous friends this needs to be their “must stay” while visiting Paris. If anyone reading this has the great fortune to meet our hosts and be welcomed into their home you will discover how magical this experience will be for you as it was for us. We give Isabelle & Emmanuel our highest rating and hope to see our hosts smiling &
welcoming faces again soon!
