You can't beat the location of this apartment. It's right in the heart of Bastille, in a private alleyway, so away from the hustle and bustle but also right in the center of it all. It's a great area with tons of nightlife and easy subway lines. The alleyway was also super charming and very chic. Just where you'd imagine living in Paris!
The apartment is up two flights of stairs (but Axel was there to help carry bags!) in a very old building. The paint was peeling in the hallway, but the apartment inside was better. It still was a bit run-down, definitely not luxury. If you just want a great location to stay in, this fits the bill. It was clean and easy to get around from. The details, however, were lacking, and it was very obviously a space intended to be hotel-like and not where someone truly lives. There was plywood under the tv and a bit of mold in the shower. Perfect place to just crash for a couple of nights and access the city easily.
