I spent a week in Ayoung's apartment. It is in a fabulous location with easy access to everything in Paris with the Bastille Metro station very close by. The area is full of nice bars and restaurants too. The apartment is a fairly typical Parisian apartment; on the small side by North American standards and with a good many stairs. It is very quiet and clean and, in my opinion, a very good value in expensive Paris. It is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple traveling light and inexpensively.
