Lydia’s apartment is in a great location just steps from the metro, with numerous cafes and bakeries in the surrounding blocks. Although it’s on a busy street, the apartment was quiet and cozy. Small for American standards but as expected for Paris. Just FYI, this apartment seems to be occupied permanently when not rented out. Personal items remain in the bathroom and kitchen. We had a short stay so it was not a problem for us. The beds were comfortable and linens were clean. This was a nice home base for exploring Paris on foot.
