I really enjoyed my stay in Paris, and staying in Tifenn's neighbourhood was pretty conducive to my enjoyment levels. Alexandre Dumas metro stop is a short walk away, but I was also able to walk to Nation easily within 5 mins.
Nearby Rue de la roquette is great, with take away coffee options at Clint cafe, great restaurants and clothing stores. Being next to Pere Lachaise as well was really convenient for me as well.
I found the room quite spacious, with more than enough room to leave my suitcase open etc. Tiffen has a well- stocked kitchen which came in handy when I ran out of money & needed to stay in & make my own dinner.
Tifenn is a reasonable person & a good host. She promptly replied to all my questions, sets out clear house rules, and left work early just to meet me, as I arrived earlier than expected. Her flat is decorated in excellent taste. It will make you want to go back to your own flat to redecorate. Thank you Tifenn.
