Me and my gal pals had the pleasure of a five day stay at Vanessa & Remy's apartment near the Bastille. The apartment was spacious, attractive, beds comfortable and kitchen well appointed. While it is on a busy street traffic noise could be kept at a comfortable level when windows were closed. Within a 10 minute walk there were good restaurants, great chocolate, fabulous bakeries (we went out every morning for fresh croissant, pastry and bread), good green grocer, subway & Velolib bikes for use around town. There were fun and interesting places to go in all directions. We had a hot water problem one day but Vanessa got a plumber right away. No TV but only one person cared -she wanted to watch the soccer tournaments and went to a nearby bar to watch the games. WiFi was available in the front of the apartment but not the back bedrooms.
