The main aim of our trip was to give our children a feel of how it is to live in Europe including Paris. And this is exactly what the location and Eilse's home provided. The apartment was true Parisian style. It was just beautiful. The neighborhood was safe and provided us access to all the major locations. It was just magical. Our kids (16,13 & 10) felt it was very special to be staying in a place that was so authentic. Our host introduced us to the neighborhood by walking us through the adjacent streets pointing out resteraunt a, bakeries and cafes. What more could you ask for.
