The apartment is nestled in a great location with short walks to either the 1 or 8 metro. It is a great location to walk to many parts of the city, with the center being only 30-40 minutes away on foot. Bastille itself is an awesome neighborhood, containing everything from multicultural food options, awesome wine bars, cocktail bars, traditional cafes & brasseries, and shopping.
Carole was very accommodating and adjusted our check-in time so we wouldn't have to wait around during one of the big heat waves. Apartment was clean and very quiet. Children's room was great; had toys for our son to play with (though we spent most of our time exploring the city). First bedroom was small and comfortable, though not much space to open multiple or large suitcases. We spent most of our time in the living/dining room, which was very relaxing and sunny.
We fit four guests very comfortably (3 adults 1 child) and loved this part of Paris. Would definitely recommend staying here.
