I really can’t say enough great things about our experience staying at this flat. The unit is located in a beautiful historic building with tons of charm (I suggest asking Jeanne for a quick history lesson on the building). It’s light and bright with plenty of space for a family and has sweeping views of the Bastille plaza right through the living room window. It’s central location can’t be beat - the metro station is literally right outside the door with access to multiple lines to get you around the city, which was a real bonus on those rainy autumn days in Paris. We are personally fond of walking and enjoyed our daily strolls through Bastille and neighboring areas like Le Marais and Oberkampf. Overall it’s a lively area with countless cafes, shops, restaurants and the bustling market on Sundays that spans blocks. With that you may hear some noise from the street at times but we found that to be all the more fun. Jeanne is a fabulous host - she always responds within minutes and answered all of our questions prior to and during our trip, including some assistance when one of us needed to find an English-speaking doctor unexpectedly. We can’t wait for our return to Paris someday and hope to stay in this delightful flat once again. Merci beaucoup, Jeanne!
