The room in Lydie’s apartment was lovely -very clean beautifully decorated and the bed was amazing, very large and very comfortable. At first I was apprehensive about staying in someone else’s apartment, this was the first time we have tried a room in someone else’s space. And while you have to take into account the presence of another person, this is why the room itself is less expensive. Lydie was very discreet and very helpful, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Any awkwardness came from our reticence to impose and not at all from her. She bent over backwards to allow us a late check-in time, and allowed us to leave our bags in the room most of the day. For us the apartment was ideal because it was very close to the Tenon hospital where my husband was undergoing tests in the morning. I did get to explore the neighbourhood a bit and found it charming and very Parisian. But that was not our main goal in staying there. All in all I would highly recommend Lydie’s room if you enjoy the set up of staying with your host!
