PARIS-ACCOM - Coming in October - by Jill


After years of refining our product Italy-Accom, we're making the leap beyond the borders and beginning Paris-Accom, the first of many French accom sites ---- in our sights?

Many of our clients have been in touch over the years asking if we can arrange an apartment for them in other European cities, so its a natural progression for us to move ahead with this project, the first of many European projects.

We will be inspecting each property in Paris for quality, location and facilities, just as we do in Italy , including the famous bounce on the bed, to be sure you sleep well. This will just mean more traveling, which is job I am always willing to take on. Of course during these -- grueling -- inspection trips, there's always time for a wander along the Seine, bit of poster shopping and try out some of the local cuisine.


We have a wonderful, like minded collaborator in Paris and we've been viewing a bunch of apartments for the website this weekend, joy o joy, they are wonderful, and the buildings so magnificently maintained, this is going to be cinch to find quality accom.

We are staying in a super bright apartment called "Halles" which is just next to the Novatel on the edge of the Halles district, there are huge windows in all rooms and although only a one bedroom apartment, it has two modern bathrooms and is so spacious, we almost feel guilty for not having brought our Francophile teenage daughters with us to sleep on the large sofa bed in the living room, next time!

We fell in love with another apartment during the inspection tour, especially the color of the walls, Here's a pic of Leon testing out the Starck chairs to see if they were as comfortable as they are sylish...

Well, it's June now, so I guess we will be launching this site just after the summer, I will update the blog as I go..
