Axel's apartment is ideally located for getting around Paris. It is a few minutes walk to the Bastille metro station, plus a short walk to La Marais area. Lot's of good restaurants, bars & cafes are close by. The alley way in which the apartment is located is lovely & is very safe as the gates at each end are locked at night. It is quite noisy as there are clubs & bars nearby but the new double glazed windows block out the noise. Highly recommend this place. Cheers, Dave & Gail
