Definitely stay here! Michel was so generous and kind in making sure we felt comfortable and familiar with the neighborhood when we arrived. We got a tour of some key places nearby (best baguette in the neighborhood!) and took many of his suggestions for food and we were SO thrilled with them all. If Michel says to go somewhere you can take his word! (Dinners-Italian or french, the market etc)
The neighborhood is fun and all of Paris is accessible from Bastille. Things to note about the apartment: furnishing is charming and pictures are accurate, the bed upstairs is cozy and comfortable (be warned tall folks- it's a crouching sort of situation!), the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking (thank you Michel for the essentials when we arrived too!!), and the washer worked great (there's a dryer at the laundromat nearby but we air dried everything and it worked just fine). Lovely lovely time here!
