This property is quietly in the Suburbs and it is important to know how to find things. I've learned how to get around and I hope this information may help the next visitor:
1. It is a short walk from the #1 Cimitaire Bus stop. This bus is important reach the Lozere and Orsay-Ville train stations for RER-B to head to Paris. Also, I've taken the #1 Bus towards Igny to get to the nearest laundomat I can find (Gymnase stop). The Lozere train station is also in this direction of Igny.
2. All banks and ATMs I discovered in Orsay. Take the #1 Bus to Marie-Orsay stop to get to banks and the Post Office.
For Shopping and not driving, I took Uber to H&M in Villebon. There are many stores snd a food market Auchon there in the mall. There is a large Franprix Supermarket 1.8 kilometers from the apartment. I walked there and took the bus back. The bus stops in front of the Franprix. There is an Intermarché market, boulangerie, and pizzeria witin 1 kilometer from the apartment.
It may look like this apartment is not accessible to anything, but it is near a LOT of places. It is a matter of knowing where to go.
IMPORTANT: Go to the Pharmacie in either the Gare du Nord or Paris La Defense train stations for Covid testing. NONE of the pharmapcie I visited in tve Villebon and Orsay area gives Covid testing for travel. GO TO PARIS for the antigen testing to return to your country. It costs approximately 30€ - 60€ euros. I checked everywhere near the studio and afar and only found COVID testing in Paris.
I stayed for an 8-week sabbatical from USA and enjoyed every day of it. The studio was perfect for me because I traveled alone. The proprietors are easy to communicate and are welcoming.
I DO suggest to bring a flashlight 🔦. The studio has automatic lights, but sometimes the motion sensors didn't kick in until I got to the door at night. I didn't mind because I had my flashlight to see where I was going.
The wi-fi worked very well and I was able to work without any problems at all. The refrigerator has small freezer. I kept the fridge stocked. it is mid-sized but can hold a lot.
Lastly, This studio apartment is fully equipped with kitchen needs and dinnerware. I really enjoyed my stay and plan to return.
For me, it was five stars 🌟 Safe travels.
