Staying with Maria felt like staying with a dear friend. She made me feel immediately at home. It was a gift to wake up each morning to a thoughtfully prepared breakfast which we shared together, but the even greater gift was her warmth, her spirit, and her wisdom. I enjoyed her company so much that I suggested we share dinner together my final night.
Maria and her hospitality gave me so much comfort, and so did her beautiful loft. My room was a little oasis, and the bed was so comfortable. I was enamored with her artwork, books, and plants, all of which make the airy and tastefully decorated loft feel like a home.
My only regret is that I didn’t spend my entire week in Paris at Maria’s loft.
I am grateful to leave this experience with a new friend.
