Barbara's place is ideally located – it's a five-minute walk away from Canal Saint Martin (my favourite area in Paris), and place de la République.
There are lots of stores, fun bars, cafés, and restaurants in the neighbourhood.
The apartment is newly refurbished, cosy and clean. The host even left us a complimentary bottle of rosé which we enjoyed drinking by the canal.
I would highly recommend Barbara's place to anyone looking to spend a quiet/romantic weekend in Paris :)
