Charles' studio is a fantastic place to call home while seeing Paris. It is exactly as advertised, with a great view from the balcony. It is located near the Bastille, and has a metro stop just outside the door. We also had the opportunity to visit the market that sets up outside the apartment twice a week. Charles and his wife provided us with a guidebook and all the information needed. They even left some cookies for us! The apartment is situated in an area with lots of public transportation, so you can get to all parts of the city, or transfer to the RER C to get to Versailles. The apartment is also in a great neighbourhood, with tons of shops and restaurants. Highly recommended!
