Ottima posizione vicino a Parigi

We have never stayed at a Homestay before so we were pretty nervous. Our flight arrived very late at night. Sunny let us know the metro didn't run that late and she would arrange a driver for us. When we arrived at the airport after traveling for many hours, we were exhausted. Sunny sent a message to let us know she had to use a different driver so she would meet us at the airport with a different driver. So late at night, she rushed out to meet unknown, weary travelers. So much kindness from the beginning.

She rode with us to her home. It was exactly as described. She had not made up the 2nd bed for us because she wasn't sure if we needed it. We said yes and she pulled out clean sheets and blankets and made it up. We chatted for a bit, she showed us how to get water, tea, coffee. She said to help ourselves to anything. Clean towels were provided and said to rest, we'd see her on the morning. She clearly communicated everything in very good English.

The beds were comfortable. The room was large and pleasantly decorated. The shared bathroom is small (we are large people) but entirely functional. Her flat location is about a 6 minute walk to metro or a tram line into the heart of Paris. We could leave Sunny's and be eating breakfast at a beautiful Cafe in central Paris 30 minutes. She even recommended where to get the best cafe experience!

The entire time we were in Paris, I knew Sunny would be there to help us if we needed her. She was very busy working herself and not home much, but gave us clear instructions how to reach her and guidance how to get around.

Above all, she made us feel comfortable and welcome. A foreign country with my son was overwhelming at times, but I knew I was not alone.

Thank you, Sunny. If you ever come to Washington, you are welcome in our home. You made our trip one that we will always remember fondly. Thank you for being such an inspiring host and a good person.

Sunny was warm, welcoming and incredibly helpful from start to end, an awesome host! She provided detailed instructions for our stay and travel from the airport, met us on the platform, helped us to get our bearings with the metro and local shops despite the cold wet weather, helped us to sort out dinner and even saw us off on our first major train trip out from Paris (arranging transport through her equally awesome friend Bruno and navigating the train station)!

Sunny's place is as nice as she is
Distance: a short walk from the metro with shops close by, c20min from the airport and not too far from the city centre.
Access: There are stairs involved (about 3 flights) but we managed with 1 large and 1 medium suitcase and Sunny's help.
The place/room: clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated with interesting books, pictures and other furnishings. We were able to use the kitchen and bathroom freely (the latter with more than a little help from Sunny who literally cooked our dinner for us!).
A massive thank you to Sunny for welcoming us into her home and ensuring that our first few days in Paris/France went smoothly! We would absolutely recommend Sunny as a host and stay again if there's ever another opportunity to do so!
