I had a comfortable one-month stay at this homely studio apartment and would consider staying again on my next visit to Paris. It offers an excellent location on a quiet side street in Bastille with two supermarkets, many bars and restaurants, the fabulous Bastille markets every Thursday and Sunday, and several metro stations all within easy walking distance.
The apartment has a pleasant outlook and is on the first floor with access by stairs or lift. It is well equipped but also free of clutter, because it is not a private home. The electric fan provided by the host made the hot summer nights cooler for sleeping, even though there is no air conditioning.
As earlier guests have reported, there is no washing machine and the shower stall is very small with difficult access by steps and poorly sliding glass doors. The building was secure and quiet, though there were renovation works to a nearby building that caused occasional noise and dust during my stay. Also some noise is heard from the outdoor tables at a bar on the opposite side of the street on some evenings, actually this added to the ambiance and did not disturb me.
Overall it was a very enjoyable stay and I would wish to live in a similar studio myself! This apartment is highly suitable for solo travellers and couples wishing to experience the hipster Bastille lifestyle.
