Suzette's apartment is so adorable and comfortable. Suzette gave me very easy instructions on taking the train and Metro from the airport . Violette was there to welcome me and let me leave my luggage. Every detail of this place is adorable. She explained it was her grandmother's apartment and her grandfather's paintings decorate the rooms. There are nice wooden floors and a lovely double window to let in the sunshine and the fresh air. The shower has lots of hot water and I loved the green shower curtain and mat! She showed me the heating fan which made the room toasty warm on cold times. And great Wifi. The kitchen is wonderful too as I loved making coffee first thing in the morning and getting fresh croissants from the best bakery half a block away. There are many restaurants of all types , and be sure to see the area Buttes aux Calles nearby. There were street markets full of fresh food and a giant Place d'Italy 2 shopping center with nice shops. Carrefour has good prices on everything, and you should stock up the first day on essentials to make life easy. There are 2 Metro stations - on 2 different lines - to make getting all over the City and back very easy. The apartment is close enough to town that I could return and get something if I forgot it, but far from the Maddening Crowds. The neighborhood is tranquil but still lively with wonderful, friendly people that live there all the time. You can tell I had a good time!
