The location in the Bastille area was superb. Extremely close to metro station just down the street, excellent restaurants right on Rue De Charonne and other near by streets. The apartment is very clean, well appointed and practically designed. Real plus for families is that the unit has a dishwasher and two full and one half bathrooms. There is a washer but no tumble dryer. However, there are heated drying racks in each of the bathrooms. We found the beds extremely comfortable. The entrance to the building is through a beautiful courtyard. The communication with Deborah was very easy. We would definitely recommend this apartment.
