Henry was a super host. He was communicative and flexible about our later-than-planned arrival. He greeted us, helped us park our big-for-Europe minivan in his garage, and was friendly, chatty, and full of tips and suggestions for our stay.

Photos do not do justice to the amazing space. It was a special experience, staying in a converted cloister with gothic arches and vaulted ceilings. And it was so nice to return from exploring the city and surrounding wineries by staying in such a spacious home with a well-equipped kitchen. And the location is great, too, since you can walk to the river, Saint Michel cathedral, and many great squares, bars, and restaurants.
