Isabelle's place is perfect to explore paris! The train stations east and north, the RER and the metro are right around the corner. The apartment is very lovely and everything you need is there. Isabelle was a really nice host. She left a paper on the table with all kind of information and recommondations on it which was very helpful. If you get a chance go and try the eritrean Restaurant "massawa" that isabelle mentiones on the paper! Its sooo delicious. We would definitely come back.
