Wow, what an exquisitely charming and comfortable stay this was for a first time, solo visit to Paris!
Pauline’s home has all the amenities which make for a delightful time - a perfectly petite and efficiently equipped kitchen, multiple varieties of coffee and tea, cooking oils and condiments, a sparklingly clean (and very stylish!) bathroom and beautiful furnishings and art to boot. What a a treat! The space also warms up very quickly with the little heater for those chilly Spring mornings.
The sofa bed folds out easily and made for a cosy sleep each night (which was of course very welcome after many eager kilometres of walking each day around Paris’ sights!) and the area is quiet enough to be out of the frantic busyness of major areas, but a quick stroll into the heart of a lot of fun too. Cafes, bakeries, supermarkets and some nice parks are an idle few steps away in any which direction. Blackbirds sing in the morning and afternoon.
I look forward to returning to this beautiful home and to meeting Pauline in person one day - her correspondence has been nothing but attentive, kind and supportive. She shows a true passion for her city (the 11th Arrondissement is great!) and a pride in her home which is very inspiring indeed 💖
Merci Pauline!
