Nice apartment, brilliantly located close to 2 metro lines (Bastille and Voltaire) and bus stops, lot of food options close by , including a Carrefour and Auchan. All parts of Paris very easily accessible by public transport from the apartment. Host very helpful and professional.
We struggled with opening the apartment with the key a bit. Had to get one of the neighbours to help out the first time. Then we learned the "technique" of the French locks (you first push, and then turn the key the opposite way, something that I wasn't used to, despite living in multiple places in US and Asia , where you just insert the key and turn!) .
