Bastille is a fantastic place to stay in Paris…close to the Marais and easy access to main sights by foot or metro. The house was as appeared in photos in a very quiet courtyard off a main rd. The house is a quirky conversion with a couple of living spaces as well as a lovely outdoor area. The bedrooms were elevated on the upper level…it was a heat wave when we stayed, so the rooms were very warm as the air conditioners (portable) were not very effective (there are 2 opening skylights on the upper level). The kitchen was great with good appliances. The bathrooms were small but ok…newer towels would have been nice. There were several feline visitors during our stay who we all loved! Unfortunately a couple of months prior to stay, our flights were changed (covid) and we were unable to stay the originally booked dates and were unable to get a portion refunded which was disappointing. We stayed as a family of 5. The house was very clean (remember to bring eur90 at check in to pay the cleaners). Check in and directions were easy. Thanks for having us.
