Great location in Bastille and spacious (by Parisian standards!). There were the three of us so we had to set up the sofa bed (it took up the whole living room but our family didn't need that common area anyway). We never met Christian Julien since he was out of town, but he replied promptly while we were there and gave wonderful recommendations on local restaurants and supermarkets. Check-in instructions on how to collect the key and how to access the apartment were very clear, but highly recommend you read them beforehand! Would definitely stay here again.
