This place is the perfect home base for a stay in Paris. It is clean, comfortable and incredibly conveniently located (only two blocks from the Bastille stop and a beautiful stroll from the 1st). There are also great restaurants and bars near the apartment; ideal for when you are too tired from touristing all day to go far afield for dinner. The apartment has the amenities you need; an espresso machine, good wifi and a great bakery around the corner (try the almond croissants). Emmanuel and Francesco were polite, had great recommendations for places to go and were very responsive. Could not recommend this place highly enough.
