Apartment well equipped. Beautifully quiet due to the location at the end of a traditional Bastille passage. A 200 year old wood furniture maker within the passage. Very comprehensive inventory with lots of unexpected extras including nice coffee machine, dishwasher.
The area is a lot of fun. Local restaurants good, for basic shopping the Monoprix is only 20 meters away. The covered market, Marche d'Aligre is only 5 minutes walk away and is surrounded by cafes, restaurants, boulangeries, butchers, cheese shops etc. The night life on Rue d'Allappe is very lively - lots of latin influences. Hot shopping on Rue de Faubourg Saint Antoine with anything from M&S food to upmarket clothes shops.
Easy to get to from airports via RER to Chatelet and M1 to Bastille.
