Christophe embodies the Airbnb spirit! We were staying at his flat during the Paris bombings and attacks. I think it's best to share our story that night to explain to you how wonderful this flat truly is. We had been planning a dinner party for 8 on Friday night. One couple cancelled and decided to go out. We went shopping at the beautiful Rue Cler area only a few blocks from the flat with the shopping trolly provided in the flat. My friend from Geneva lingered over our experience and enjoyed cooking a beautiful dinner, we had everything we needed and figured out the oven on our own! Text messages began to pour in at the same time we heard the sirens. Our friends out texted that they need to come to our flat. We had 6-8 people over that night going in between the TV in the bedroom and discussions in the living room. We felt safe! Airbnb checked on us, Facebook checked on us, Christophe checked on us! We felt so incredibly lucky to be behind strong gates, a large courtyard and two other doors after that. We had enough linens to care for everybody and the wifi and amenities never faltered. The corner store remained open until 2am. Although the effel tour became the symbol for Paris in these attacks, our neighborhood was the safest around and everybody came to Christophe's beautiful apartment and found kindness and safety while we prayed for the rest of the city. We will never forget this beautiful Paris gem of an apartment or the kindness Christophe has both before and after for us. Whether it was making dinner reservations or offering us a few days more if we needed to stay because of the airline back-ups! We felt the spirit of the Parisians that weekend, and we give thanks for a beautiful shelter to share with our friends. It was an Historic weekend and we were so blessed for this apartment. You I hope will have much different experiences such as walking the seine, seeing the sparkling lights of the tower, and shopping the Christmas markets. but know show anything happen in Paris again this apartment will not only give you joy but safety and warmth. Thank you Christohpe !!
