Jelena is the perfect host. Her communication was brilliant arranging to meet us on arrival. Helpfully explaining access, house rules, garbage arrangements etc. She informed us on arrival that the housekeeper had reported the washing machine was faulty and reassured us that she would contact an engineer. It was fixed the following morning!
Train station into Paris is about 10 minutes walk away and metro about 20. Many buses are also nearby, 2€ per trip, but be warned that they don’t accept cash and have a text booking system which needs premium text enabled on your mobile. There’s a Lidl 3 mins walk away and a wonderful bakery just 5 mins. There’s a Velib bike dock just outside the apartment ( Paris’ ‘Boris’ bikes) which is also really handy. We didn’t really explore the local area favouring journeys into Paris each day. The parking space is underground and securely accessible via a button on the apartment key fob.
The apartment is well maintained, wonderfully clean and well provided.
Just need to finish by thanking Jelena for being such an excellent host.
