Due to a plane delay, we arrived in Paris around midnight. We borrowed a phone from the kind proprieter of the local fruit stand nearby. Meriem had a family member show us how to work the lock-code system and orient us to the apartment. It was the perfect size and had all the amenities for me and my 3 daughters. It was a pleasant surprise to find we had free calls to the US on the landline, in addition to free wifi and cable TV. It made talking to my husband back in the states so much more convenient. Thanks!
