Hi Marjo,
What a terrible end to a wonderful week. What "they" did defies belief and was all the more disturbing after the uplifting discussions we had on what "belong anywhere" can mean.
Thanks to Airbnb employees for their response to the events, not only having to write off all the work they have done over the past year, but putting Disaster Recovery plans into place and communicating via web, email and phone to hosts and guests across Paris.
We only ventured out to the local shops yesterday, but were impressed by the fortitude of the Parisians to open their shops and to go out on the streets, maybe not in the usual numbers, but in numbers.
Today we left for the airport early and were impressed again by the railway staff on hand to explain how to get to the airport on the train and bus transfer. We felt safe throughout, but especially after passing through security. We are now home safely.
Thanks again to the Co-founders, the executive and all the staff for a wonderful AirbnbOpen before the tragedy.
Regards,
Martin & Lesley
