This apartment was perfect for my wife and I and our two older teenage boys. The rooms were spacious, with many windows opening on to the street and inner court. Three (!) bathrooms and two showers meant no waiting and we made full use of the well-appointed kitchen and the washer & dryer. This neighborhood has many superb food and drink options including a supermarket and vendors of fresh fruit and veg. Sette pizza and Tanguy creperie were favorites, not to mention several excellent bakeries & pastry shops literally around the corner and a few blocks away. This is an urban neighborhood with vibrant street life and one block to the metro and readily walkable to Canal St.Martin, Sacre Coeur, and the Sentier neighborhood. We felt safe coming home late at night from the metro, with several restaurants still open! Dan is charming and responsive and knows the neighborhood and city well and has many great recommendations for restaurants. We stayed for almost a week and would have stayed longer!
