Balthazar was a very inviting and courteous host. The apartment was quaint with an amazing view of the canal, great natural light and had everything I needed to a 10 day trip. But the neighborhood is the best with boulangeries, cafes, cool shops abounding. There is even a grocery a block away. The metro is a ten minute walk but I walked almost everywhere because this area was quite well located for right bank site seeing. Would definitely recommend this place.
