The apartment is in the heart of Bastille district walking distance to city center, shopping and restaurants. Check-in process was very easy and Fabio the concierge was very helpful in letting us into the unit and arranging for taxi pick up on the day we were leaving. The staff in the café below the apartment were also very friendly and held on to our luggage while we waited for the flat to be ready for check-in. One thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is in a very busy part of Paris above restaurants and shops that stay open very late into early morning hours. If you are looking for a clam and quiet place to rest, this apartment may not be for you. During our three day stay we could hear the crowd noise every night from restaurant goers and locals from early evening hours until 7M the next day.
