Laetitia's apartment felt so safe and secure. It's a very well secured building. She's in a more residential area of Paris that I was less familiar with but it's a really sweet community. While the condo itself is on a busy main street, it's quiet at night. Just walk down the closest cross street and there are restaurants, a boulangerie, a park, and city hall. More of that neighborhood feel. Metro will get you anywhere you need to go because it's farther away from main attractions and the city center. It was so convenient having the Carrefour and pharmacy just steps away for everything we needed. Use of the washing machine was so helpful especially in summer when clothing needs washing more often and we were on a longer trip. The view from the cozy balcony really was the cherry on top.
