My stay at Yaya's place was great! She was out of town the week that I visited but she had a friend there during my stay. The place was warm, bed comfortable, and very clean. I was able to use the kitchen if I wanted to cook anything. She upgraded me to the larger room because she said the room I had booked was undergoing some repairs, so this was much appreciated! She was also able to accommodate me for an earlier check in since my flight got in in the morning, her friend was friendly and quiet. Her place is in a great location, close to many shops and with a couple of metro stations within a two block radius. It is also easy to get from CDG airport, only take the RER B from the airport to Châtelet–Les Halles and it's a short walk to her place from there. I would say from 5 to 10 minutes. Remember that in France people count stories in buildings differently, so she told me was in the 4th floor but for Americans that is actually the 5th floor! It is a long climb but her building does have an elevator - I toughed it and since I only had a backpack I didn't mind the climb. I would recommend a stay at Yaya's!
