What a fantastic stay in the Saint Martin Canal area on the northwest edge of the 11th arrondissement. Proximity to the Republique metro station, countless restuarants, cafes and bars and the serenity of the canal all make this a fantastically situated apartment. Pros of the apartment: espresso machine, washing machine and dishwasher, fast wifi, easy and responsive communication with host. Cons: tiny shower, no extra blankets (we visited in early October before the building's central heating was turned on).
