Barbara was a terrific host. She was prompt, kind, and full of suggestions. She made the trip to Paris very easy. Her flat is simply great. Perfect location, and plenty of space for a family of 4 (assuming kids are young enough and don't mind sharing a bed). Stylish flat; full of lovely art, too. So close to many of the main attractions, and within a short walk of many cafes, bistros, and shopping. Quick walk to the river, and metro was very close. Loved it. Hope we can return!
