The apartment was very comfortable, clean and neat. The location is perfect for exploring the neighborhoods of Canal St. Martin and the Marais. The host Brice responded to all questions quickly. Excellent communication and check-in instructions. The flat is next door to patisserie Liberte, nearby are other must try bakeries - Du Pain est des Idees and Mamiche. Local restaurant Les Enfants Perdu is excellent for a modern French meal. For shopping - the Rue de Bretagne has great food shops (Stevenot roast chicken!) and markets as well as good cafes. This apartment is highly recommended.
