Madame Ralda's place is a cute, cosy little place just off the centre of Paris. The house is clean and well prepared, the amenities are complete (but best to bring your own shower gel if you're not used to the bar soap that they provide), and the bed is comfortable with a firm mattress. Most of all, it's super convenient to the trains, buses, and metro. The metro is literally in front of the house and the main station for trains and buses to the airports and outskirt areas are just a few minutes walk away. There are a few supermarkets/mini-marts around as well as food places. The small boulangerie near the Italian restaurant has one of the best croissants I've tasted! Monsieur Alex and Madame Ralda have also prepared guidebooks and directions for marts and restaurants. The lift in the apartment is small but classic - I love the retro-ness. The floors do squeak so it is important that we keep as quiet as possible at night. But overall, it is a quiet and peaceful place and a good place to rest after long days out in Paris. Merci!
