Rita welcomed us with warm hospitality as soon as we arrived. During our stay, she would check on us via Airbnb messages to make sure everything was going well. Cleaning of the apartment and laundry were also offered to us. As our flight back home was an evening one, she allowed us to put our luggage at her place while we ran around the city doing last-minute gifts shopping. It was great to have such a nice and friendly host.

Location-wise, it is about five-minute walk to the nearest Metro station - Breguet Sabin and maybe seven-minute walk to Bastille station which is one of the major stations where you can do line transfers. In walking distances are a number of interesting places worth visiting such as Le Marais, St Louis, Notre Dame, etc. Every Thursday and Sunday, you will love the variety of fresh fruits, breads, yummy local food and many more items being offered at the nearby market right where Breguet Sabin Metro station is. The neighbourhood is generally safe and has plenty of nice cafes/restaurants to check out.

The apartment is a good size for up to two people. It was clean, tidy and well-equipped with necessities. Everything was functioning well in the apartment. One advice would be to keep your baggage a weight you can manage four floors up the staircase.
