The apartment is very basic, no-frills, and a bit battered. But it's in a great location, both in terms of the alley in which it's situated (it really is as pretty as the photos on AirBnB) and where the alley is situated, just off Place de la Bastille. However, you need to know that the address given on AirBnB, 12 Place de la Bastille, is very confusing. It's actually in an alley called Cour Damoye, and the '12' in the address refers to the whole alley, not the apartment, so don't go looking for '12' up and down Cour Damoye. Also, because it is in such a great and central location, it can be very noisy at night. However, there's no noise from the other apartments, and altho a bit worn, the apartment is warm and comfortable. Great for one person, may be a bit small for two.
