There is a good reason that there are so many positive comments about the apartment in the Bastille. Michel is passionate about Paris and welcoming guests. We managed to get ourselves lost getting to the apartment. I need to say it is not hard to find the apartment, we made an error in map reading. Michel came to our rescue, gave a full introduction to the apartment and then took us on a tour of the neighbourhood. When we came to leave Michel likewise showed us where to get the bus to the airport, an easy walk from the apartment.
The apartment had everything we needed, was well laid out and spacious.

It was a short walk to the metro at Bastille, although on our first day we comfortably walked to Notre Dame and on another occasion walked back through the Marias. There are plenty of great places to eat within a few minutes walk. There is a copy of 50 walks in Paris and using this was an excellent way to explore.

We would happily stay here again.
