Beau studio Bastille

Bastille Hidden Gem

Perfect location, very comfortable accommodations, and so many daily necessities provided it exceeded our expectations.

A spacious, beautifully appointed studio apartment in a lively, conveniently located neighborhood. The photos on the Web do not do it justice: It is very attractive and meticulously clean. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were planning to go back. We were, however, accused of 'light damage' which we did not do. We will not, to our regret, be renting this apartment again.

The apartment is located in a very appreciated area for young people to hang out in the many bars and restaurants located in the street LaLappe. It is a very busy and noise street in teh evenings but the apartment face the back not the front.

The assistant of mr Duran was waiting for us downstairs, came up with us showed us the place , functioning of the appliances and left coffee ,filters, bottle water and fruit A lovely welcome, she was available by phone when I needed her for additional instructions to operate the stove ( heat induction system) .

Location is excellent: one block from the Bastille Metro station that connects with several metro lines. There is a craperie in the corner, a bakery and pastry shop, as well as supermarket and many restaurants french Asian and Italian. The apartment has everything you need except from oven ( not uncommon in Paris center)

It is just as you see it on line: no surprises!

The only issues are: even thought it does not face the front street with all the bars and noise, it faces an alleyway where people get together to enter some function hall and it is very noise specially Friday and Saturdays until 3 Am and om Sunday at 6:30 Am they clean the street form the party and again it is noise .

I would not go there in July or August: there is no AC or a fan , it must be very warm.

so a lovely place, a very nice owner and assistant . just ,avoid the summer months and weekends.

A quaint little studio apartment just a few minutes from Bastille station on the metro that is surrounded by excellent Parisian eateries. The studio is in a very secure, discreet building so that’s also a plus!

The only con we had that isn’t mentioned in the ad is that the only two windows are located right about an alley of bars. It wasn’t bad, even during peak hours, but it made it a little difficult to relax in the evening.
