I was very grateful for Heide's welcome chocolates on arrival. The house manual about facilities in the area was very useful and we visited the nearby street market. Although we have been to Paris before, the local knowledge was appreciated. The apartment was very cosy with a full size comfortable bed. As expected in a small Paris apartment the kitchen was tiny but extremely well equipped and with a washing machine. The rooms were light and airy. with windows when opened took advantage of the cross breeze. The apartment has wooden floors so before entering we donned our house socks, although Heide does provide slip-on house shoes. I hope that Heide will allow us to stay in her home when we are next in Paris.
