Clara is a very kind and helpful host. The apartment is situated in a quiet location, 2 minutes from the Canal St Martin, and close to public transport. It's a lively area, lots of bars and restaurants but without the hustle and bustle of central Paris, and it's relaxing being by the canal. There are lots of well stocked metro type supermarkets nearby for provisions, as well as a top class ice cream shop, and a wide variety of independent shops. I went with my 16 year old daughter, and we loved it.
The apartment itself is the old Haussmann style on the second floor, very charming and characterful, with a surprising amount of greenery around.
