Superb, spacious, well-located, very Parisian apartment. We especially appreciated the two bathrooms, which is rare in this price range.
The Bastille is a lively area, away from the usual tourist haunts, so you get to interact with real Parisians, even in August, and they are friendly and helpful. There are lots of good restaurants, cafes, boutiques and other services within easy walking distance. The downside of that was a bit of noise from the cafes down the street that lasted into the evening, but unless you are especially sensitive, it's not a problem.
