I stayed in Basile's place for 3 nights earlier this month. The apartment was clean, compact and bright which was everything we needed. The location was ideal. Bastille itself is a cool area with lots to do and has variety of bars/restaurants. It’s perfect if you want to go for a drink at night as you don't have to worry about getting a taxi/metro back to the apartment. It is super easy to get around via public transport with the metro less than a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Basile provided some great tips and recommendations too. Overall a great host who responded promptly to any queries allowing the whole process to run smoothly. Everything was straight forward and I would highly recommend to a friend.
