We stayed at johns apartment with 2 adults and 1 baby (5 months old). We found the apartment to be a perfect size for us, and although the 5 flights of stairs were tiring, it was doable!
The area is lively at night, with young people enjoying the night air and drinks by the canal. Bars seemed to be bumpin as well. Although the neighbourhood is lively, the apartment is quiet.
There’s great breakfast and coffee, grocery stores and restaurants across the canal.
We used a number of metro stations, all under 10 minutes walk.
Would be happy to stay here again if we return to Paris!
