Virginie’s place was great! I’ve stayed close the Canal before, but never right above it. Beautiful space, you’re comforted by the fully decorated space, with the plants, books and artwork. The balcony was a great place to relax after work. Close to the metro and there’s a bar right downstairs. The area is “hip”. A lot of eateries and people enjoying sitting by the canal. I slept like a baby each night. I have no complaints.
