Axel's place is in a great location only a 5 minute walk to his apartment from Bastille metro station. One tip is, after exiting the train station at the top of the stairs on street level do a sharp turn left, walk pass the brasserie with the red chairs and awning and the gates are on your right. The apartment has all the basics that you need. There is a hairdryer (not mentioned in the amenities section).
There are plenty of restaurants nearby.
Axel communicated with me during my stay to ensure everything was OK.
I would stay again during future trips.
