Virginie's apartment is absolutely wonderful! The photos depict the accommodations very accurately; it's a lovely blend of charming, rustic and modern, with an amazing, spacious terrace overlooking the Canal St. Martin. The bed is comfortable and all appliances/shower/toilet work as they should. There is an excess of space for a couple, whether for a short stay or a more extended one.

The location cannot be beat; the immediate area is scenic and lively (without being overrun with people/tourists), and access to equally must-see areas is convenient, whether by foot or metro. Grocery stores, bakeries, bars and restaurants are everywhere - getting settled into life in Paris is a breeze from this location.

And Virginie is a pleasure to deal with. We had the opportunity to meet her, which was great, and she was responsive and informative throughout. All in all, a perfect Airbnb experience that I very highly recommend. Thank you Virginie for helping to make our trip to Paris so special!

(I'm not sure how long the construction will last, but it was a total non-issue for us; it never interrupted our sleep, and once you're in the apartment, you forget that it's even happening)
