Basquiat's Bastille Paris, Île-de-France

Holiday Rental Description

This stylish Parisian apartment wouldn’t be out of place in Brooklyn with its exposed brick walls, cool contemporary furnishings and artsy bedrooms. Located in the city’s historic Bastille neighbourhood, you’re in an ideal position to soak up the best of Paris’ art, culture and gastronomy while also enjoying an endlessly comfortable stay.

Relax and unwind in the open-plan living area where a cosy sofa invites you to kick back with a glass of French wine after a day of sightseeing and a long dining table beckons celebratory homemade feats.

The three bedrooms are calm and quiet with two of them facing a courtyard. We’re particularly fond of the colourful second bedroom with its graffiti mural and large windows letting plenty of sunlight in, as well as the parquet floors that feature throughout. Factor in the sleek bathrooms with their rainfall showers and you’ve got everything you need for a chic, carefree stay.

Outside of your home, Place de la Bastille is a seven-minute walk away, the vibrant Marais district is a twenty-minute stroll and the Canal Saint-Martin is ten minutes away on foot.


Home truths:
*This home is on the first floor of a building with a lift
*You'll need to bring your own shampoo
*The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
*There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and using Paris' public transport instead – Ledru-Rollin station is a one-minute walk away
*This host provides a cleaning kit with sponges, various detergents, kitchen cloths, garbage bags, dishwasher, and washing machine tablets
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
