This place was a surprise in many ways. The street was dark when we arrived, and he called out from the balcony to show us the way. The apartment was work of art in itself, with everything one might need in perfect condition. He communicated with live phone translation as well as our common language of French. The apartment is perhaps 200m from a busy street of restaurants and activities; we arrived on Valentine's Day weekend and it was a party everywhere! Our host was also out on the street and was part of the neighborhood -- not someone renting a place they didn't know. (He was also very funny.) We already have many stories we exchanged with each other of how wonderful it was to stay in this place. He helped us with learning to use bus tickets and how to find our way to interesting sights. We have complete praise for how he helped us and for the comfort and beauty of the apartment. Bravo! It's a place we hope to come back to!
