On the whole, the apartment is good, great location and amenities. It is a good size with 2 bedrooms and a sofa bed. It is located in a courtyard which is safe. The area Bastille is fun and feels like a safe area. It is very well connected to other areas in Paris. The apartment is close to the metro and there is a supermarket close by. We loved the location and would recommend to stay in this area.
However, the apartment was not clean on arrival there was a lot of dust. The apartment is damp, it is not too bad but it does smell. You must be quiet when you are in the apartment and make no noise as the neighbours don’t like any noise. I would not recommend stay here when you are in a chatty group of people we had 2 noise complaints whilst we were eating dinner and laughing which was a little upsetting. We also did not know in advance that there is CCTV in the apartment. Overall the apartment is great however we would not advise to come in a large group due to the noise problems.
