Both my wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Ari’s place. Bastille metro station is a short 5 minute walk. If you don’t mind a longer walk, the heart of Paris is easily reached in about 25 to 30 min. All the appliances looked new and functioned perfectly. There are fans in both bedrooms and the kitchen if it gets hot. Bakeries and cafes are close by. Grocery store is right outside the door! We would definitely stay again!
