This is a great choice for a more local experience for your Paris stay. The apartment is lovely, in a gorgeous old building that gives you a genuine Parisian feel. The neighbourhood itself is very diverse, with lots of food options ranging from Vietnamese, Tunisian, etc, with the trendy bars of Oberkampf just a short walk away. The Menilmontant metro stop is literally out the front of the building, which we used to get everywhere in Paris, including to and from the airport (very well linked metro network). The apartment is clean and comfortable, with good WiFi connection, and has a well equipped kitchen. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend for anyone wanting an accommodation option away from the heavily touristed areas.
