This apartment is a perfect space if you are looking for a little oasis in a non-touristy part of town. We loved it! Great light in the morning and afternoon, plenty of space to spread out for my husband and I, excellent air flow even when it was hot (there are windows on both sides of the apartment), and views of the Canal Saint-Martin park down below from the balcony. The bed was cozy and plenty big enough for two, the kitchen was well-stocked with essentials, and the bathroom was perfect-sized. Not to mention the extensive library that we spent hours perusing! The neighborhood was just what we were looking for... plenty of cafes and restaurants and grocery stores, close to metro stations, and a great place to go for a morning run along the canal without all the craziness of being in the tourist center. We highly recommend staying here.
