We were greeted by Vy's mom, as Vy was on a holiday. She was a very sweet Vietnamese woman, and she explained to us some of the areas that were worth travelling to. Her English was limited though, but she did try very hard to try to communicate with us.

The place was furnished REALLY nicely (better than my apartment in Canada, I think). Shelves well stocked with food and spices, induction stove, dish washer, espresso machine, and even a washing machine too for the clothes. The decorations looked really nice as well. Also, with the usage of Vy's PS3 and netflix, it truly felt like home.

The place is on the first floor, and facing the small dead end street. Sometimes during the weekends, some of the other residence would often gather near the house and it was a little louder than what I would have liked, but then again, I'm from a quiet small town in Canada, so maybe it's normal in the big city.

The location is also conveniently located. It was just a 5 minute walk to Metro Line 7, which directly leads to the Louvre. It was only a maximum of 1 transfer to literally anywhere in Paris from Line 7. Also, there is a "Casino" across the road and a "Monoprix" about 400 meters up the street where you can buy groceries. There places are like big chain grocery stores with lots of selection. I wish I knew this at the start of my stay instead of near the end though. Would have saved me some trouble.

Overall, very satisfied, because I didn't want to stay in a small and cramped apartment that was poorly finished and had a shared bathroom with other neighbours. Area was conveniently located too.
