The Bastille is a nice area, and convenient for metro hopping or walking to the centre of Paris. The Studio is small, just one room with well equipped kitchen area and bathroom, but big enough for so me and my partner without bumping into each other. There's an area to sit and have breakfast, and a small wardrobe. Good hot shower, and the place was clean on arrival. It is situated on a small private street that is locked by a gate at night, so very safe, and keeps noisy party goers away, though you can hear them at a bar a hundred yards or so away - far enough away not to disturb your sleep. Lovely old building that could tell a lot of tales! You feel part of a community for your stay. It is like staying in one of the little Mews you find in London but would never be able to afford! There is a small supermarket and busy bars on the Bastille roundabout where you can enjoy the sun and decent food, and a lovely small coffee bar with gorgeous cake at the other end of the little lane/ 'cours' - come out of the door, turn right and right again for the latter. Our host, Axel, was prompt; available by Airbnb messages, and flexible on checkout day including holding our luggage while we enjoyed the last day.
