I had a great stay at Khadija’s place. She was gone for the first ~6 days of my trip but was very good at communicating when I had any questions. There is a Franprix right around the corner so it was easy to get food & essentials, and there was a ton of space in the fridge for storage. The bedroom has a large wardrobe for storing your clothing and plenty of mirrors, which is always helpful for getting ready when you are sharing a bathroom with someone else. I really appreciated having a fan available in the bedroom too as I was there during a heat wave. I was also able to figure out how to use the washing machine easily, and she has plenty of drying racks. The apartment was clean and everyone else in the building seemed very friendly (plenty of families). To get into the city I could take the RER B from Cité Universitaire or Gentilly, or line 4 of the metro from Porte d’Orleans easily (I preferred the walk back from Cité Universitaire at night, because there are always students around). Overall it’s a great price for a nice apartment & host if you don’t mind staying on the edge of the city!
