Susie was instantly prompt in all her replies, from my initial inquiry to our final one saying good-by. We loved staying in her spacious apartment, and the location was super convenient for us to take the metro wherever we wanted to go in Paris as well as connecting to the RER to/from CDG airport. Having a kitchen and a washing machine & dryer were extra special conveniences too! The many floor to ceiling windows gave vibrant light to the apartment, and when we opened them, the fresh air and cross breezes were so refreshing. The twice a week market was just down the street, by one of the 3 very close Metro stops, and it was amazing. Everything was fresh and we bought meat, fish, cheese, bread and fruit - all super delicious. The market also had arts & craft items and clothing. There is a Monoprix nearby as well as many cafes/restaurants, a pharmacy, and even a Starbucks - truly, everything is at your fingertips when you are in Susie's apartment. The Bastille neighborhood is very safe and welcoming - we enjoyed going out at all hours, early in the morning and/or late in the evening, and we were never concerned about doing so. My children sincerely enjoyed our trip to Paris and wanted to stay longer - because of the spaciousness of Susie's apartment, its convenient location, the market, and all the various eateries nearby. As we were leaving, they asked "when can we come back here?". So yes, we will definitely be calling on Susie to stay in her apartment on our future trips to Paris.
