Yolande's place is spectacular! It is centrally located in Paris and not more than a 5 minute walk from subways and 10-15 minutes by subway to 5-6 major sightseeing places, to include the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. There is a supermarket 1 minute away from her apartment and she had fridge space set aside for me as well as a stove in the kitchen. If you are not in the mood to cook, there are several cafes and bars within 5 minutes by foot.
The room was sparkling clean, we'll taken care of, and the little touches like her leaving a bottle of water / water heater and tea were noticed and appreciated. There is French television in the room, which she went out of her way to fix before I told her I didn't need it.
Expect that she and her son are very quiet between 2100-0900, which was important to me as a light sleeper. She does not speak English but she, again, went out of her way to use Google Translate to make sure my needs were taken care of. She also knocked on my door in the morning just to say good morning and it made it feel a little bit more like home, which I really appreciated.
Will definitely stay here again when I come back to Paris!
