I am a transplanted Canadian who has been living in Montmartre since 2001. Unlike a lot of people who are expatriates living here, it wasn't a
"life long dream" for me to live in Paris.
I left Canada in 1997 to spend a few months in the sunny Caribbean. Not surprisingly, a few months, turned into 4 years!
While I was there, I met a charming Frenchman (aren't they all) and after a few years, he decided it was time to move back to Paris. When I first
visited the city about 15 or so years prior, I fell in love with Montmartre and that is where I continue to live today.
The apartment rental business has actually come by accident. I often had friends asking me to recommend places to stay and I have always preferred
more unique accommodations to hotels. This "unique accommodations" concept was the birth of our first website, www.weekinparis.com,
and has expanded to what I hope you will find, a "PerfectlyParis" choice of vacation accommodations!

It has always been a life-long dream for me to live in Paris! My Parisian holiday turned into a dream come true... I first lived in this beautiful
city while studying Art History and French in 2003. School left me with lots of free time to explore Paris, but also the time to have a part time job.
After my parents rented one of Gail's apartments, I began to work with PerfectlyParis.
During 2004-2005, I returned to the United States where I graduated with a degree in Art History and French Studies from the University of Minnesota.
I quickly rushed back to my Parisian life in the fall of 2005, when I began teaching English at a French high school while working again part time with
Gail. Since 2006, I have been working full time with PerfectlyParis greeting guests and helping Gail expand her list of unique apartments.
I have lived in the Montmartre area since 2005 and have fallen in love with the village-like atmosphere, the friendly shop keepers and the magical
ambiance that still fills its narrow cobblestone streets.
I hope your PerfectlyParis holiday is as special as mine was!

It was not my plan to move from my native Australian home to Paris but, like Gail, I also met a Frenchman who swept me off my feet. He was a jazz musician and
we met at the club I was managing.
We travelled the world together with his group including many stops in Paris and, eventually that was where we settled.
I have lived in the Montmartre area since 2004 and am happy to call in my home.
It is a great place for me to raise my children as there are so many cultural events for families and plenty of green spaces throughout the city. We are
actually spoilt for choice of what to do !
Enjoy your stay and be sure to take advantage of the many exhibits, events and other things Paris has to offer.
A number of Paris rental companies have gotten together to form an association in an effort to set down standards within the Paris rental business.
Our goal is to bring together businesses with common standards for people staying at our apartments - whether it be for business, pleasure or temporary reloaction.
PerfectlyParis is proud to be a member of the APLM (Association des Professionnels de la Location Meublee ) and you can find out more information about our association
