This is a great flat in a great neighbourhood near the Canal. As a family of four, with teenage boy (17) and girl (15), we were looking for enough space to relax and enjoy our time in Paris. The flat met our needs (happy teenagers!) and has a feeling of being a home. It is clean, well equipped with anything you might need, and a great space to relax. We really enjoyed the neighbourhood feel of the area too. It is not a big tourist area. There are lots of places to eat and drink around the canal. Getting around is fine, we used the Republic metro for access to other lines and the short walk was a good excuse to eat cakes and bread on route.
