This was an excellent location for us in Paris: two blocks from Republique where our son could skate, direct view on to the happening Canal St. Martin (noisy Th/Fr/Sa as to be expected!), and 20mns stroll to the Gare du Nord for Eurostar/Thalys/RER B to CDG. On 3rd floor w lift. Well appointed and good amenities like hot shower nespresso and washing machine. Great for three.
