Everything was lovely! Annamaria was most accommodating helping with all our requests for things like extra keys and the duration of our stay. Her apartment is delightful, it has a very warm and friendly atmosphere with lots of intriguing books and ornaments. The apartment was clean, the bed really comfortable, the wifi worked well, and the heating was easy to use and effective. It was great having a washing machine, iron etc - all the things you would have at home were at your finger tips. And the extra bedroom (with single bed) meant we did not have to trip over our luggage as it served very nicely as our walk-in wardrobe. Although very central and handy to the Metro, the apartment is on a quiet street with little noise. Towards the end of our stay we caught up with Annamaria for lunch at a favourite bistro round the corner, to share some common work and family interests. Our stay was a very Parisian experience in someone's home that we will cherish and remember with pleasure.
