We LOVED Anne's apartment! As other reviews have mentioned, the well thought out design and details of the space made for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. It took us a couple of days of walking up the 4 flights of stairs to realize that the narrow closet looking doorway was in fact an elevator! (oops) At first we wondered if the location would be too far from many of the sites and areas we wanted to visit, but we found that Canal St Martin is a very cool neighborhood with great shops and a cool vibe. We would not have discovered it if we had not been in Anne's place. Only thing that could have made the space better, for us Americans is an overhead shower. But all else was fabulous, and would definitely recommend.
