The area where ali's house is is very well located, it has two subway lines nearby that take you to the city center quickly. Also to get to the central station of Gare de Lyon! The neighborhood is nice and if you have forgotten something at home before leaving, just wander around for a little while to find the shops. There are also some supermarkets and shops nearby that sell various types of food (pastry shops, restaurants, tacos), making it a well-stocked area. The only flaw is that in the evening it is a somewhat particular area if you are alone, but still safe overall. Ali's apartment is large and has a living room with kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. I must say that with my partner we had a good time at his house and we hope to return one day on another trip to Paris!
