Whilst this flat is small and compact like many flats in Paris, it is comfortable. It is up a spiral staircase to the third level - a caution for those with a lot of luggage. Being across the road from the fresh food market was wonderful as we like to cook for ourselves. The position is a short walk from the Bastille and therefore close to metro etc for getting around. We stayed in early September and the flat would get quite hot with the sun when we were out but it quickly cooled down once we opened the windows and put the fan on. Evenings in late summer are cool so sleeping was no problem. This was a good flat for our short stay.
