The apartment was literally steps from the Bastille where our daughter was performing with ABT. It was well appointmed, clean and bright with flowers in the window boxes and a binder with information on the coffee table. Hostess was also sweet and informative. We also used the washing machine which was very handy. There is a local grocery and pastry shop steps away as well. The building was easy to enter and we had friends that were also staying in Paris find us easily and visited the apartment as well. All commented on how quaint it was! My ballerina daughter visited between shows and rehearsals and took much needed naps in the apartment with the windows open providing a lovely rest for a tired girl. We are very thankful for this place and would definitely visit it again next time we go to Paris!
