This is a great place in a fantastic location. The Bastille metro station is a very easy 500 meter (1/3 mile) walk and has 3 metro lines (1, 5, and 8), making it very easy to go anywhere in Paris. Even closer than the metro is a supermarket, a bakery, and a wide selection of restaurants. Despite the proximity, this is on a quiet street. There is one bedroom on the main floor, and 3 more one flight of stairs away. The 5th bedroom requires 2 flights of stairs and the 2nd flight is a spiral staircase so guests need good mobility to get to it. Each bedroom has a bathroom, and 4 of the 5 have showers (one has a bathtub). We were a party of 8 and had plenty of room. Though the apartment sleeps 16, it would be crowded with that large of a group. We liked that the kitchen table seats 16 so we could sit together to share meals. The host is friendly, helpful, and very responsive. The only negative for us was that the livingroom furniture is primarily 2 twin beds, which would be good if you need the sleeping space but was not great as livingroom seating. Overall this is a great place in a fantastic location and we had a wonderful stay.
