Lara's place is in a great location, if you are planning on using the Metro to get around Paris (which you should) this place is in the perfect location. We were able to get everywhere we wanted to go within minutes by hopping on one of the 3 metro lines that pass through Bastille. The apartment is a perfect size and the kitchen is very spacious with everything you could need for cooking.
All in all my husband and I really enjoyed the space and our trip to Paris.
