I stayed 6 nights at Li’s and had a wonderful time exploring Paris. Her apartment is a short bus ride from the Gare de Lyon, which is where I arrived from. The metro is only a few blocks away, as are a bus stop that will get you many of the famous sites in central Paris. The bedroom was comfortable and clean, with a nice window to let lots of natural light in. The bathroom was easy to access, as was the kitchen. If you are laden with bags, like I was, keep in mind that you will have to carry them up several flights of stairs, but that seems pretty standard for most apartments in Europe. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and close to many shops and restaurants. I did not get to meet Li in person, but she was very quick to reply to any queries I had about getting to the apartment, checking in, etc. She also provided several helpful maps and guides to navigate the city. I had a lovely week in Paris.
