We had a lovely stay at Marie's apartment in Paris. It was very comfortable and convenient to the metro, train station, shops and grocery. We enjoyed the Bastille area, it was a great central location. The main room was large and bright and although there could be street noise with the windows open, the bedroom was interior and quiet. Marie and her cousin were very accommodating and it was easy to get checked in. Marie also was kind enough to notify me right away that I had left some sentimental jewelry on the nightstand and she sent it back to me which was much appreciated!
