Dear Bruce,

We have just returned to Australia from a few weeks in Europe, the first few days of which we stayed in your apartment in Paris. I would like to thank you for it and say that we really enjoyed it. Helene made us really welcome and met us at the apartment, even though I hade neglected to ring her from the airport. We really appreciated the wine, food and flowers, a very nice touch. The area is lovely with a great feel to it, and the apartment is just right. We found all the info on Paris you had collected quite invaluable. Two years ago we had stayed near the Arts & Metiers metro station and visited the Montorgueil district, so we were glad to find your apartment just around the corner. I hope we will be back in a couple of years.

As an aside, we stayed in the Dordogne for a week in a lovely place overlooking the river near the castle at Baynac. Unfortunately we had to make our own beds when we arrived and were harangued at the end for not, apparently, cleaning the bathroom floor well enough. In comparison the treatment and service by Sylvaine and her colleagues was wonderful. Thank you.

You provided for us magnificently! What a wonderful beginning to our 2004. Your comfortable apartment with everything we needed. The fabulous location, all your info and tips, and enthusiasm for Paris combined for our varied and enjoyable stay. We look forward to hosting you in Colorado.

Bruce,

We felt so fortunate to have been able to stay here and you definitely have the best location for an incredible and memorable Paris experience. We are "late bloomers" in regards to traveling and your kindness as well as Sylvaine's competence made such a difference.

Dear Bruce and Barbara,

We love your Paris getaway. During our stay we had the pleasure of experiencing Bastille Day. This was a lovely event of French Nationalism. The fireworks at the Tour de Eiffel were magnificent.

Thank you so much for a lovely time and most importantly, many peak memories of Paris for years to come.

Dear Bruce and Barbara,

Staying at your apartment has greatly enhanced our Paris experience. This is the third time for me in this city and, because of your apartment, absolutely the best. After wearing out our feet each day, it's been great to have this place to come "home" to. What a difference it makes. Spaciousness, comfort, great location, even a high-speed internet connection for our Sony laptop. We hope to return here someday.

Dear Bruce,

Thank you very much for your apartment. We love it much more than a hotel. It's a great location from the Metro, Louvre and historical places. I hope we'll be back.

Dear Bruce,

Thank you so much for the use of your lovely place. We had a wonderful time in Paris. We were fortunate to see it snow.

Thank you!

We feel so lucky to be able to come here for the second time. This apartment is perfect. We've especially enjoyed the lively neighborhood and our evening shopping for bread, wine, cheese, pastries, etc. We hope to be able to come here for a third time. Merci beaucoup.

It's been wonderful to be back "Chez Bruce". This time, because the area was more familiar to us, we felt even more at home. We actually made dinner 3 times. Thanks for having such a great "home away from home".

This place felt like home as soon as we walked in the door. Love the neighborhood and due close proximity to everything else.

What a great location. We had a great time exploring Paris with its many wonderful buildings, shops and restaurants. The neighborhood gave us a nice insight to life in Paris. Thank you. We will be back.

Thank you for the fine apartment. It suited our needs perfectly. Sylvaine was very helpful getting us orientated. We loved Paris, cooked a fine meal here, visited with our son, and are now off to Venice.

Dear Bruce,

What a wonderful feeling to come home each night to a lovely flat in such a perfect location. It was fun to show off my home to friends who live in Paris and were very impressed. I look forward to a return visit. Thank you for the wine, cheese, bread and flowers. It was a welcome sight when I arrived tired and hungry.

Dear Bruce and Barbara,

This is the perfect location. We enjoyed every minute here. After walking all day, every day, it was so nice to have this lovely apartment to come home to at night. Cozy, quiet and while it was cold, cold outside, warm and comfy inside. We hope to come back soon.

Many thanks to Helene who was a great help and gave us a very warm welcome.

Dear Bruce,

Our time together here in Paris has been a wonderful renewal of our long-term friendship ( dating back to 1975). I really enjoyed meeting Odile and Jose. They are fun people. And I will never forget our nightcap at the Pompidou. What an amazing view of the city!

Nor will I ever forget the choral music at St. Eustache. It was absolutely magical. And we had a great time at Le Tambour with you, Odile and Jose and my good friend Karin.

As to the apartment, you and Barb are to be congratulated on creating an oasis of comfort and serenity amidst the turmoil of an intensely active city. Everytime I returned to your apartment, I felt I was coming home.

You have always been the best of friends, and I will try to be an even better friend to you in the future.
