Great little appartment in a very hip neighbourhood. Many bars, restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets around. The metro is also at walking distance but staying in the Canal st. Martin area or walking to the Marais is fun as well. Yue gave many great tips for restaurants and bars, definitely check them out. The building is very Parisien with an old wooden staircase, but the appartment itself is modern and well decorated and quiet. Great kitchen, comfy couch and bed and nice bathroom. Best appartment I ever had in Paris (I’ve been going every year for about 8 years).
