Penelope's apartment is located very close to the Gare de Lyon and the area is very good and close to everything. We were received by her and she spent time explaining everything in the apartment and also answered any queries we had. She had stocked some coffee and tea for us to use which was a very thoughtful gesture as we had very little time to shop. Since we were going to use the washer, she even got us some extra detergent. The location was perfect as the metro station is a few minutes walk away. For exploring the river Siene, there is a Batobus stop within walking distance. Overall we had a very good stay.
