Very nice apartment in the Bastille neighborhood. The apartment is dead quiet, as it is isolated from the surrounding streets and opens onto a lovely garden. When we opened the windows, all we could here were song birds in the garden. The apartment is small but very functional and comfortable, with all of the amenities listed in the ad. One block from the Ledru-Rollin subway station, just a 10 -15 minute walk to the Paris Gare de Lyon station, where we connected to the CDG airport by the RER rail/subway system. We also used the station as our entry to the TGV and SCNF rail systems to southern France. Plenty of bakeries, bistros, and restaurants nearby, and a open market a few blocks away. The neighborhood is vibrant, with a nice street scene for kids and adults.
