Our friend recommended Emma’s place and it was the best recommendation we have ever had. Staying in Emma’s gorgeous studio has been one of the best parts of our trip to Paris. It felt like we were in a movie, sitting on the balcony sipping coffee in the morning to the sound of a piano playing from the little tap dancing studio across the street. The street, and the Bastille area in general, is alive with wonderful bars and cafes, galleries and an eclectic mix of shops. The apartment is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated It has absolutely everything you need. There is so much more space and character than any hotel at that price, and a Emma is the perfect host, always on hand to answer any queries. We will be back for sure, and stay for as long as we can!
