We stayed in pascales apt for two weeks . The apt is perfectly situated in a quiet residential area close to the Bastille . There are plenty of local shops and a great market only minutes away . The nearest metro station is only 5 mins away . The flat is very cozy and comfortable , well equipped and although on the 4 th floor, thankfully has a small lift . Although in Paris at what was a very sad and terrible time for the city we had a wonderful time and will hopefully return soon .
