Stephane’s apartment is everything as described. We spent 2 weeks at Ledru-Rollin and really got to know the neighbourhood well. It is in a fantastic location. Firstly the Metro is literally at the front door which was fantastic. Literally across the road is a Monoprix, a Carrefour and 25 metres up the Avenue Marks and Spencer ( great for ready prepared meals after a day of sight seeing). The recommended Boulangerie and Patisserie “ Blé Sucré - just around the corner- is without doubt one of the best in Paris ( and addictive!).
Stephane provided us with a very comprehensive guide on transport, shopping, restaurants and tourist tips which was very helpful.
The apartment is an easy 10 minute walk to the Bastille.
( it should also be said that the apartment is extremely quiet - notwithstanding its position on a busy street)
For those wanting to sample some of the coolest bars in the neighbourhood we recommend a visit to Rue Lappe - a very lively and fun place to visit in the nighttime with very competitive Happy Hours!!
We are very happy to recommend Ledru-Rollin to those looking for a modern well equipped and large apartment in a fabulous location.
