I highly recommend a stay with Lydie in Ile de France as a highly enjoyable, authentic Parisien experience.
Lydie was the most gracious and respectful host. She is multi- lingual, speaking excellent English and shared much valuable information to help me get around Paris.
Lydie’s apartment is spotless and she appreciates her guests removing their shoes inside. There are 2 flights of stairs to her unit, but Lydie helped me with my luggage which was great. The location was very convenient for bus and metro. I felt safe walking around the area at night. There are plenty of good cafes and shops close by.
