What a lovely apartment. Communication with Alix was excellent. Although we did not meet Alix, her friend met us at the apartment and explained everything. The apartment is compact, clean, has all the utensils you need, and as all the other reviews report, it is close to the Bastille Metro station, it is in a lovely area of the Bastille and there are restaurants and supermarkets close by. The apartment is very secure and extremely quiet at night. My wife and I just loved our stay in the apartment.
