Our Paris Airbnb booking was cancelled at the last moment due to a death in the family of our host so we weren’t optimistic about finding something comparable in our preferred area of the Bastille. However, Luc’s place ticked all the boxes for position and amenities. The kitchen is well appointed so that you can enjoy meals prepared from the fruit, veggies, cheeses and meat bought from the nearby Marché d’Aligre. The apartment is very quiet, the bed very comfortable and we felt safe. It’s only a short walk to explore the Marais, one of our favourite arrondissements. In fact, we only took the Metro once to visit the Rodin Museum but chose to walk to most other places. Luc was waiting for us when we arrived and offered us lots of tips for our 5 night stay. His place comes highly recommended.
