My cousin and I travelled from Saint Louis, Missouri USA for two nights in Paris before heading to other European cities. We took a taxi to Lisa's location and this wasn't the most well thought out plan. It was about 60 euros but the local metro system would've gotten us there for less than 2 euros.
Lisa lives very close to the Gare d'lest station so for the rest of the trip it was simple getting to and fro. Plenty of eateries and bakeries and bodegas/corner stores. We mainly ate in other arrondissements though as we toured the city.
The apartment itself is four flights up (it's considered the third floor because in France the first level is 0) and there is no elevator or central air so in the summer it could be a tiring walk but we're young women and had no problem carrying our bags up and down. The area felt very safe as well.
Once inside it is only a studio apartment but was just as listed in the description and photos. The futon was very comfortable and spacious enough for two persons. The refrigerator is small but we only needed it to hold our water and left overs.
The bathroom was clean and functional.
Thanks Lisa for a pleasant stay!
