My daughter and I arrived in Paris, we speak no french and were confused by how best to navigate to the home from the airport. I had been given entry codes etc. by Christine and thought we had all we needed and did not understand that she would be waiting for us. When we got off the bus (at lunch time and had no breakfast) our friends who had arrived a day earlier were waiting at the stop with a snack for us so we visited for 15 minutes. At this point I received a message from Christine that she had been waiting and was obviously upset. We quickly walked the 10 minutes from the bus stop only to find out that the entry code we'd been given to enter the building was incorrect. A neighbor saw our confusion and was very helpful and provided us the correct code. I feel that the beginning really set things off on the wrong foot and regret that I did not understand the expectations better. The room was spacious, comfortable, bright and had a beautiful view. It was beautifully decorated. We were offered space in the refrigerator for anything we might pick up at the market and Christine was very helpful directing us to markets and restaurants and even directed me to one that specifically offered some gluten-free items. There is a shower and sink in the room, the toilet was through the kitchen off the entryway, not ideal but considering the beauty of the view/location it is certainly doable. Our stay was 7 days and we were given 2 bath towels and 1 hand towel for the two of us, we could have asked after a few days but were uncomfortable doing so and it was not offered so we made it work. I fear the way our stay started out may have affected our perception of each other. We found ourselves being overly careful to not offend or inconvenience her where if I had more familiarity of the french language I think it could have all been discussed and understood. I would certainly stay with Christine again if I'm ever able to visit Paris again. Such an amazing trip.
