This apartment was a great place to stay while in Paris. It was quite small, but for a solo traveler it is quite nice. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and communication was easy. The neighborhood was very nice, lots of bars and restaurants close by. Public transportation was also very easy. There was a bus station across the street and the metro stop was a short walk. It was also very easy to walk to Bastille, Belleville, and Oberkampf so the location was excellent.
