Great location in an underappreciated area of Paris. We loved running the canal up to La Villette, and the restaurant and nightlife scene around Republique were awesome. So close to amazing restaurants (and a very solid beer bar).
The apartment was cute and cozy in a historic building. We really enjoyed opening the windows and being able to look at the beautiful street.
Bonus points it's located right on a Velib station (but get them early this seems to be a big commuter neighborhood).
