Certainly a hidden gem! The apartment was true to the pictures. A lovely light filled space with 3 windows that open for lots of fresh air, important during our hot weather stay. The street is locked overnight so safe and generally quiet and still so central to the busy Bastille area. Previous reviews have mentioned the noise from the night club- some people noise Friday but a lot less than we expected. Great coffee shop outside the front door- they roast their own! Communication with Axel was excellent both prior to and during our stay. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!
