Beautiful and unique apartment, very large for Paris. Perfect location, and very secure. Quiet and relaxing, close to Bastille Metro stop. Shops, restaurants and bakeries right outside the door. Alexandre is a fantastic host who goes above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating to guests. He lives is an apartment on the same floor of the building, and is always available to answer questions or help with anything you need. Be aware that there are many steps and multiple access gates to get into the apartment. The small lift is helpful, but this place may not be the best if you have small children, problems with stairs, or any type of special accessibility needs. We loved our stay and hope to visit again.
