Charles home is right on the edge of Bastille and Marais. Immediate access to the 5 line metro, and a couple minutes walk to the 1. Tons of hip and fun bars and shops on one side (including a couple of well placed grocery stores) and the beautiful and boutique lined streets of the Marais on the other side. The apartment is spacious, perfect for two couples. Top floor with a beautiful view of Bastille from the balcony. Charles was a warm host when greeting us and had excellent communication throughout. I can't say enough of what a treat it was for us to stay in this apartment.
