Lovely stylish apartment, you can absolutely feel like you’re at home in a non-touristy Parisian neighborhood. The neighborhood is close to the Bastille metro and lots of great food and shops, but the street and building are quiet enough to leave all the windows open at night. (It was hot in August and the cross-breeze was great!) The bathroom is huge, esp for Paris. We particularly enjoyed the typical Paris balcony, just big enough for an afternoon snack and glass of wine!
