First of all, Diane is a very accommodating host and speaks English fluently. The apartment itself is situated in a nice neighbourhood in the 18th, which is actually quite a nice location because it is quite local (close to some nice cafes, brasseries & restaurants, everything you need within a short walk) but also very close to some tourist attractions and about a 30 minute walk from Galeries Lafayette. It has an elevator which is useful, also pretty rare for Paris. The apartment is also quite spacious - another thing that is rare in Paris - and very nicely decorated. Diane and the apartment made me feel quite at home - I'm an Australian expat living in the suburbs of France and couldn't return home for the holidays, so I improvised with a 'staycation'. Despite feeling homesick, this stay made me reconsider going back home and perhaps, I could live in Paris one day! Diane provides you with everything that you could possibly want to live your Parisian dream lifestyle, even if for a few days.
