We had a great time in the apartment, Its nice and big, clean, comfy and cozy, had almost everything you need to feel like home, and if you need something more, there are supermarkets near by, bakeries and restaurants. there are few Metro stations near by, we used the "google maps" to walk and move from place to place. Check in and check out was easy (although we didn't get the instructions from AIRBNB). Michel was very helpful and available. The apartment is on the 3rd in a close yard so we felt safety, and the neighborhood is quiet. The canal is right across the street and jogging at the path is very fun, even when it's 2 degrees outside. We recommend to buy Baguette and Croissants at the "Sain Boulangerie" and eat dinner at the restaurant "Melt".
