Francoise is the ideal host. She is incredibly responsive and accommodating; every time we had a question, she was forthcoming with information and did her absolute best to make us feel comfortable. The check-in was seamless and exactly according to the instructions, and everything was spotless upon our arrival. I really appreciated the stunning artwork in Francoise's apartment, as well as the comfortable bed. There is not much noise from the bedroom, as there is a double window (lovely French-style); we slept soundly during our stay. The location, just at the foot of the Bastille monument, is incredibly convenient for so many metro lines (just a short walk to a station). The apartment is remarkably spacious and really made us feel at home. All the details—the ventilateur/air conditioner, the linens and washing machine, the nice shower and bathtub—made this a very special vacation. Thank you, Francoise, for everything!
