We had a wonderful stay at Alex and Cora's place. From the beginning of the reservation, Cora was super accessible and communication with her was reliable and fast. The place is very well situated within the Bastille region. We walked to Bastille often to the metro, as well as Opera, restaurants, and markets. Although it is not central to the main attractions, access to metro is within less than half a block. The neighborhood is friendly, safe, and full of good restaurants (incluing #1 on tripadvisor). Groceries within half a block.
Her apartment accommodated well our family of 7 and one more person would fit just fine. Quiet at night and lively at day. We really loved the place.
Cora is a great host and her booklet of information is one of the best I've seen after years of multiple short term rentals. And I am very thankful that she was able to call a cab for us to bring our guitar back to the airport :)
I have only good memories of the time spent at Bastille. Thanks Cora and Alex.

PS: The only caveat that I can possibly remember is that it takes 3 flights of stairs to arrive at the apt. Not bad for us, but I would give a warning if you have trouble with mobility.
