Cecile’s apartment is located in a truly lovely neighborhood and is walking distance from metros, buses, etc. I spent a month there during a work trip to Paris and coming back home to this beautiful residential neighborhood with friendly people and lots of restaurants, three boulangeries in the same block, and one big carrefour a few steps away alongside two other grocery stores just nearby made my time much more easier and pleasant. I came from Chicago and would count as a tourist/work trip type of traveler but I’m glad there weren’t tourists there and it made the experience of the neighborhood more genuine and enjoyable.
Cecile’s apartment is on the second floor so not much stairs to climb, it’s very clean and Cecile is a really responsive host. She’s caring and kind in her communication. The kitchen is fine for small cooking, could be a bit more equipped. The washing machine in bathroom works great and makes life much easier; the bathroom/bathtub is newly renovated and is clean.
