Maria is wonderful and made me feel at home immediately. This was the first AIR b&b I had stayed in so I approached it with some trepidation. It was a real treat to stay in a working Artist's apartment (flat) and she made me feel so at home. This was a true Parisian experience. I walked everywhere because it was all in reach and lovely to soak up Paris. I was fortunate to have a few moments of Maria's valuable time amidst sight seeing and we had lovely talks about everything. This far exceeded my expectations.
