Veronique's flat at Bastille is the perfect spot to explore any central part of Paris - The Louve, Notre Dam are just about 20-30 minute walk, the metro is just about 5, there are several supermarkets in the area which is full of cafes and restaurants, some of which are open till very late. Hence, if you want to party until the dawn it is the place to be especially if you are under 30, if you want to use it as a hub to perform as a culture vulture this is the place to be as well. The flat is quite quiet at night with the windows shut.

Now, be ready to climb some sets of stairs as it is a typical Parisian old house with no lift. The flat is spacious, sleeps four easily and I can see how it is possible to fit even more people. We did not make use of the washing machine nor the dishwasher even though they are provided and the French TV has no English speaking channels but again, you do not come to Paris to watch TV, right?))) The fridge and the cooker were of great help for sure as well as the utensils. Alas, you have to skip the garden you can see in one of the pictures as it is a private property but the big French windows in the kitchen area completely compensate for it whether you want to sit with a book or a glass or rose or both!

Veronique was very nice from the moment I sent her the request and explained my friends and me in detail what can be found around the house once we got it. She made sure we had all the necessary instructions and information. Thank you, Veronique!
