This very spacious, well-lite, basement apartment is well-placed, close to the canal, and perfect for those looking to explore the east side of Paris as myself and my companions were. It is not the picturesque part of town, but it is very trendy area with excellent cafes and restos around. It was nice and cool to stay in during the heatwaves in Paris. There's a nice courtyard to sit in with a glass of wine in the evening too. The apartment decor is rather eclectic and not to my taste, but it was not a problem. I was a bit annoyed to be told about an additional £20 fee for having a third guest after I had already booked and paid. This makes it slightly less competitively priced than expected as I would have chosen a similar place for slightly less. Still, I think I would stay there again since the apartment and area were great overall.
