just reading about a little know bnb service we know as (dare we say it?!) 'air' Airbnb.. the pros the cons... hey you gotta know your competition. and while good or bad, like any service, one unavoidable difference between our services which makes them incomparable. We inspect and select our B&B's following a strict quality of charter by the French Convention & Tourism industry. YEs our hosts offer their real homes, but they also offer quality service and meet a very strict quality of standard. Peace of mind when travelling and staying (in any city) is paramount. something money cant buy...check out our site: www.petiteparis.com.au
