A small but cozy treasure! I stayed at Nicolas and Camille’s place for 7 months and couldn’t have enjoyed my time more. The apartment is equipped with everything you could ask for -- kitchen supplies, stove/oven, linens, wifi, coffee maker, full-size bed, cable TV, etc -- and comes with lots of storage space for your belongings. Nicolas and Camille are also very hospitable and helpful hosts. If you ever an issue, they’re quick to respond, no matter the circumstances, and help you in anyway that they can. They’re truly wonderful hosts and their apartment tidy, charming, and quiet.
The neighborhood the rental is located in also cannot be beat. In terms of atmosphere, the Bastille area is rife with great sights, parks, bars, cafes, restaurants, and shops to visit. It’s also very safe and residential enough to where you can find a bit of quiet, removed from the more touristy parts of the city. That said, you’re also within walkable distance of the city center and other popular areas like the Marais, Menilmontant, Oberkampf etc. You’ll also find metro lines 1 & 8 -- which will connect you to pretty much anywhere you want to go in the city -- a stone’s throw away from the apartment. Altogether, you’re really in the perfect location to both explore and live Paris.
Really, a great find all around!.
