Great location on a quiet street 5 minute walk from the Metro (subway) and Gare de l'Est (train station) and near St. Martin Canal. Quaint spiral staircase (39 steps--3rd story) leads to spacious apartment. We did not use the washing machine or the cooktop stove but they are nice additions. Great communication with Mar. Cafes and markets close by. Comfortable bed and small kitchen with microwave and fridge. Spacious and simple residence during our five day stay in Paris. Thanks.
