Carine and Davey's place was absolutely beautiful and just as advertised. The skylights and windows let in plenty of sunlight and fresh air, and the kitchen and bathroom fixtures were refreshingly modern. We enjoyed being a short walk away from the trendy Canal St. Martin area (be sure to visit Bob's Juice Bar and Du Pain et Des Idees) and a 15-20 minute walk from the eclectically upscale Marais district (La Loire dans la Théiere is a charming place for lunch or coffee and the crepes at La Droguerie were amazing).
