The Bastille area where Fred's Airbnb is located is a most fascinating place with much going on. Everything you would need for shopping, restaurants, cafes, and more are in this part of Paris. With an amazing subway system, one can easily get around Paris in little time to see the unique sites that really are not that far away. This was a relaxing place, and was quiet, so sleep was no problem. Waking up, I could find a cafe around the corner, with some choices and have a late breakfast with varied types of local dishes and great pastries. Fred's Airbnb was very easy to get to, as he had provided very good directions. I had no problem getting lost on a day's outing. If you want a place that is cozy, with enough room, to sleep well and spend your days in great Paris, this location is very good.
