We LOVED staying in this apartment. It was warm, comfortable and stocked with everything you could want. Nathalie met us with croissants, explained how things worked and made us feel welcome. We saw warnings in other reviews about the steps (not for the faint of heart!) and the noisy street. If you like to be in the center of the action - which our teenage boys definitely did - then this is the place for you. La Bastille is hopping, especially on the weekends. Our boys were a bit big for the twin beds and low ceilings, but we would definitely return!
