We enjoyed our time here so much we extended for a 4th night. The bed is quite comfortable, the little decor is cute. There are a ton of delicious restaurants in the area and you’re a stone’s throw from the beautiful Canal St Martin. Really cool base to explore a new neighborhood of Paris, easy access to the metro. Fiber internet is lightning fast, good bc there’s little-to-no cell reception in the unit.
Things to be aware of—there is a *strong* sewer smell coming from the bathroom. The only daylight/ventilation comes from one frosted window in the bedroom and the frosted glass front door. (We left the door open one night for some cool evening air, and we had to kill literally over a dozen mosquitos before sleeping).
The door handle is really difficult to lock/unlock, there’s a trick to getting it unstuck each time. There’s a workmen’s bathroom door immediately next to the front door with people coming and going all day until the night—sometimes I jumped, thinking someone was breaking in, but you get used to it. It’s an odd little space that seems to have been converted.
The biggest thing was the sewer smell… my boyfriend and I both agree that if there was some way to fix that we could see ourselves coming back and staying for an even longer time, it’s a great little place :)
