It was wonderful to explore Les Marais and Bastille on foot, each morning, and dine at several restaurants in the area. The metro lines provided excellent access to the left and right river bank. The apartment was an excellent size for a family of four and the kitchen a fantastic way to prepare the odd dinner or breakfast or coffee at home. Everything was in pristine condition. The restaurants and bars of the area might be a bit noisy at night in Summer, but behind the double glazed windows it didn't bother us. We would definitely stay here again!
