The apartment was in an ideal location for visiting all of the major sites in Paris. The courtyard made it feel extra secure. We appreciated the welcome book that gave information about the metro and travel around the city. The kitchen contained all the necessary items including coffee, tea, sugar, and spices. There were several grocery stores nearby, as well as bakeries, cheese shops, and the lively Bastille area was just a few minutes walk. We highly recommend the apartment and will definitely return for a future stay.
