We were very fortunate to have found Carole’s apartment in Paris. Unknowingly though. The apartment is very well located in the Bastille area, 5 min walk to the Nation RER/Metro station. The location is the key to the apartment here, as it connects you to the whole of Paris without using any other public transport but the Metro/RER. The apartment itself is located in a secure building with dual secure entrances and has a lift. The building is well maintained. The studio is small, yet adequate for a short trip. Considering the location and the price, it is a very good bargain. Carole is available on phone to address your issues. With a comfortable bed (slightly narrow for 2 large people, though), a small dining table with chairs and a kitchenette, the apartment has basic amenities for a couple. It is also located close to a supermarket and a pharmacy. There’s a very good bakery 5 minutes from the apartment, towards the metro. Overall, apart from a few issues (and a major one with the TV not functioning), we were happy with Carole’s apartment.
