Thanks to Gaspard for hosting us in his place for nearly a month. It's a lovely spot in a perfect location: just around the corner from Bastille metro and within walking or short metro distance of most of the major tourist spots. The apartment was stocked with cooking equipment, a laundry machine and lots of books to peruse, as well as great impressionist art painted by Gaspard's great grandmother. While it's on a busy street, the windows face a very quiet courtyard, making it feel like you're in a small village, not bustling Paris. I would definitely stay here again!
