Jacqueline is a warm, helpful and welcoming host who met us at her beautiful apartment and left us with suggestions as well as a welcoming lovely bottle of wine, delicious bread, and even apples from her apple tree. The apartment is a real gem, one of our best Airbnb experiences--a former workshop creatively redesigned, located on a very quiet courtyard just off the lively Rue de Lappe and neighborhood near the Place de la Bastille (with an abundance of nearby bakeries, groceries, wine shops, cafes, restaurants). It is spacious and light filled. Jacqueline and her husband have a wonderful collection of books and a marvelous music CD collection and interesting art, which added to our feeling of being in a real home. The location is fantastic, with several Metro stations within a short distance. We could easily walk to the Marais neighborhood and the Place des Voges, to the Ile de la Cite and Ile Saint Louis. And don't miss either the Bastille market on Thursdays and Sundays, or the Marche d'Aligre. Thank you, Jacqueline--we certainly hope to return!
