It was lovely to stay in Rodney’s flat. We were in Paris on the hottest ever day but with its large rooms and high ceilings and by keeping the shutters closed the flat stayed nice and cool. The very central location meant that we could walk to most destinations or easily jump on the Metro or RER. There is a bar opposite which stays open until late but I was never disturbed by the noise as the sound insulation in the front bedroom when the window is shut is very good. The beds are also very comfortable so despite the high temperatures outside we had no trouble sleeping. There are lots of local restaurants to choose from and the nearest supermarket is only a few minutes walk away. Although I didn’t do any cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. Arrangements for our arrival were seamless. Thank you to Benjamin for welcoming us, to Nicolas for making the arrangements and to Rodney for letting us stay in your home.
