We have found our “Home Away from Home” in Paris, and can’t wait to book our next visit to So Very Paris. Joy is a superb host who has thought of everything. The apartment is gracious, spacious, well decorated, with charming views over the tree-lined street below. The beds are very comfortable & the bathrooms modern with excellent showers (& tub). The wifi is very fast & strong enough to handle multiple devices (phones, iPads, laptops) at the same time. The kitchen is so well arranged & equipped with top of the line appliances. Joy has thought of every detail: she has discrete signs and manuals explaining how things work or where they’re located. Most importantly, she was so gracious about answering questions even before we arrived or if we couldn’t figure something out while we were there.
Location, location, location! The apartment is very close to the métro and buses, the Jardin de Luxembourg, & lots of shops. A few minutes from several boulangeries for morning croissants, right next to a small grocery store for the essentials. There are plenty of cafés, but we made our own coffee and enjoyed breakfast in the dining room. There are too many wonderful restaurants a brief walk away to even consider dining at home, however; many are in Joy’s handbook. Try Invictus & La Grivoiserie. I even had my hair cut at Joy’s salon a block away. We wish we could keep So Very Paris a secret all to ourselves — we’re already making plans for our return. Merci beaucoup, Joy!
