What an amazing value! First off, big thanks to Philippe for the easy & clear communication in getting the keys. We were in love with the neighborhood. There's countless bars, restaurants, shops.... even a huge farmers market 2 blocks away on Thursdays. It's about 2 short blocks from the 5 metro line that gets you around super easy. The apartment was gorgeous & updated. Spacious enough for 4 adults. The bedroom was big with plenty of storage, very comfy bed. The pull out couch was an actual bed inside, big enough for a couple, which is very nice compared to some of those little futons. Small fridge, coffee maker, towel warmer in the bathroom.. our favorite part were the big windows to open up & the corner view of the neighborhood. Philippe's apartment has everything you need for a perfect stay in Bastille!
