A very fine apartment in a colorful part of Paris. Close to the metro Crimee, so you can reach everywhere quite fast. Inside the cirkle, and the RER trains to ex Disneyland, Verseille, and the airports.
The apartment was clean, and quite big. Very suitable for us, I Travelled with two 16 years old girls, that had two doors between them and their annoying father/uncle, that slept in the living room.
There is a lot of restaurants and shops in the area, and Paris is not expensive outside tourist areas.
The flat is in 4.th floor, and have a balcony with view to a Bassin /channel, full of Life.
The area is a very good place to see what every day life in Paris really is.
It is very close to a big Parc, Parc de Villette, wich we did not see, but I have been there before. An Exhibition area, and a lot of activities for young and old.
The patisserie (bakery) in the street has really good baguettes, for breakfast and picnic.
There are people of all origins in the area.. We felt really safe, also after dark, but as everywhere... watch your belongings. Especially in crowded places like markeds, and the metro.
There is a marked outside the building on Sundays and Thursdays, until 2, daytime. Especially all kinds of fresh food. Packed with people on Sunday,when we visited it.
I really recommend this flat, and area.
Metro line 7 goes directly to Châtelet /LE Halles, that is literally in the middle of everything.
Enjoy Paris!
