I had the loveliest time in Paris and I guess it also has a lot to do with the accommodation at Joan and Sophie's independent room in their apartment. It's true that the room looks lovelier than the photos. It's also clean, cozy, comfortable. The hosts provide all the things and information you need so you can travel with ease, from tips on restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and laveries (laundromats) nearby. The apartment's location is also great. It's near Metro Line 2 (Alexandre Dumas) and Line 9 (Charonne), which take you to strategic stops if you'd like to visit tourist hotspots, and which also connect you to other lines as well. Bus Line 76 is just a heartbeat away and takes you to the more central areas (Hotel de Ville, Ile-de-la-Cite, Louvre) and to other must-visit neighborhoods like Le Marais and Bastille. I would say the apartment is a good choice for solo female travelers. You can have your own privacy because you can access the room separately, and yet remain assured that there's a family next door that's also looking out for you. Not to worry about the space too; there are drawers under the bed where you can put your stuff.
