The area is a good location for anyone to get connected to other parts within Paris via Metro lines 1, 2 and 3 and it's also easy to go to Disneyland as it is quite near to Nation. The stay at Lydie's place was simply fantastic. I was able to cook in her kitchen and I must say that I love the bedroom that I was staying in. It is very clean and comfortable so much so that I look forward to sleep in my bed each night throughout my 5 night stay there. True to her words, Lydie helped to carry my super heavy luggage up and down her apartment and she even accompanied me to the taxi stand on the day that I was departing from Paris. She is simply the best host anyone could ever hope for and the bed that she offers is truly a welcoming sanctuary. I strongly recommend everyone to share the comfort that her place offers.
