It was my first trip to Paris but hopefully not my last as it is a wonderful city! ((Just a tip Parisians are not rude if you take the time to say “Good morning/evening, do you speak English? In French of course))
Eugenie was a great host and took the time the time to show me around when I arrived. She was also quick to respond to any issues during my stay. It was a safe and quiet place to stay for a female solo traveler. It had everything I needed to enjoy my stay and it was surprisingly a bit bigger than the pictures. Although for 2 people it may seem smaller. I loved that the markets and transportation were close by. The market is right next door. The bus stop is right out front and the train stations are a 2 block walk in either direction. The washing machine is great and Eugenie even had detergent packs so I didn’t have to use the detergent I brought with me. I just let my clothes air dry over night on the hangers as the dryer feature on the washing machine took a very long time to dry.
It was very cold during my stay so the space heater kept me warm and also helped my clothes dry faster.
There are many restaurants within walking distance including fast food, pub/grill, sit down restaurants and bakeries. Some more fancy restaurants require reservations which you can do online, others do not. Get out and explore them, that’s what you’re there for!
There is a great art store within walking distance too if you are an artist like me, called Passage Clouté. It has many different art products.
There was a post office “La Poste” within walking distance where you can use the ATM inside instead of outside a bank and it’s open late. Got a much better rate getting Euros from the ATM there than buying them in the USA from my bank!
There is a school on the back side of the apt bldg and you will hear the bells and the children if you sleep in late on weekdays, but it’s not terrible . The apartment is fairly quiet otherwise.
Merci Beaucoup Eugenie for being a great host and for letting me rent your space. I had a great time in Paris!
