This apartment was perfect for me.
It is cozy, clean, has a full kitchen, and a very handy outdoor space. The location is terrific, in a very trendy, part of Paris that is just a couple blocks from the St Martin canal, where many young Parisians like to hang out in the evening. The location is also quite close to the major sights but not at all touristy. There are several cafe restaurants nearby that are fun and serve excellent food, some with authentic French cuisine. My host was cordial and very helpful and quick in responding to questions and requests. I would love to stay there again the next time I visit Paris.
