Axel is a very nice person. Axel's place is a good to get around Paris from the Metro station. The Bastille metro or train station is directly outside the gates of the cobble stone street. The studio is comfortable, has the basic amenities to cook simple meals, and has a washer/dryer. The apartment can get hot on hot summer days. We recommend Axel's place for first time travelers to Paris. Traveling around Paris as a tourist is hard enough, but we were lucky to book Axel's place in time.
