"I've been to Paris quite a few times in the past, but usually staying in crowded areas or else in a small hotel. This time, I wanted to feel (just a little) like I was living like a local within a neighbourhood. I scoured the onefinestay website and had so many options to choose from, each with its own personality."

"I really loved all of the little details. The beautiful ceramics in the kitchen, the large windows that all open out to the garden, the clawfoot tub, and the large dining room table. I think I would be hard-pressed to choose a favourite amongst all of these, but if I had to I would say the large windows were a top feature as it meant the entire house has beautiful light throughout the day."

"On this trip I wanted very much to visit the Musée Rodin as well as Montparnasse Cemetery, so I'm glad we had time for that. We also spent an afternoon in Montmartre which was very easy to get to from the home by Metro."
