Every time you travel to a new destination, you are not sure if the place you are going to stay will meet your expectations - especially if you are traveling with your family. The Bells' lovely apartment in Montparnasse was as advertised and more. Both her hospitality and the accommodations made our stay memorable.

Location: A step away (okay - 25 steps) from the Metro and walking distance from great locations like the Jardin Du Luxembourg (which is a must visit for anyone with kids) and even to the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. For us a walk is anything between 15 and 45 mins and Paris is a great walking city.

Host: Mei was an amazing host that guided us before and during our trip. She was there to receive us and took great pains to ensure that we had a great visit. She was in touch via AirBnB and SMS during our stay and was prompt in getting back to us and helping us when needed (including when we forgot our entry code). Also, for anyone visiting, make sure you read the host folder in the apartment - lots of great tips in there!

Unique needs: We are a family that has life-threatening food allergies. Mei was instrumental in making our trip a success by addressing all our concerns including where we could eat and buy food. For anyone who has food allergies, you know how much of a concern this can be and we are grateful for her help. She also ensured that our welcome gifts accommodated our allergies!!

Thank you so much for making our first European family trip a huge success!!
