This is a really lovely apartment in a great location. The street and the area are really lively with lots of restaurants, bars, and galleries, and it is a 2-minute walk to the Bastille Metro station. The apartment itself is on an interior courtyard and is completely quiet -- the moment you walk through the outer door, the city noise just vanishes. The interior is quite lovely with original art on the walls, and the bed was very comfortable. I was not lucky enough to meet Gaspard in person, but he was very easy to deal with by e-mail, and Evi was very helpful when I arrived and during the week. The only reason I give it 4 rather than 5 stars is that the heating, combined with the large windows, was not quite up to the rather unusual cold snap we had during my week (overnight low -4, day high -1) and I was a bit frozen. But the bed comforter was very warm so I slept well.
