Tifenn provided detailed, helpful instructions on how to get from the train station to her apartment. It was easy to find; she lives within walking distance of Alexandre Dumas Station. The apartment is about half an hour away by train from tourist attractions like the Champs Élysées and the Eiffel Tower, but overall it's close to public transportation and located in a lively neighbourhood.

Tifenn is open and friendly. She waited to greet us after our train to Paris was delayed, and she helped us print our train tickets to leave Paris at the end of our stay. The stairwell in her building is very narrow, but Tifenn's apartment is neat and decorated in interesting ways. The bedroom was comfortable for two people, and the bathroom worked just fine. Tifenn let us use her washing machine and drying rack, which was really helpful.
