We enjoyed our stay at Frederic's apartment. The space is a perfect base for a couple to explore Paris outside the city center. The neighborhood is young and friendly with numerous restaurant options. St Martin's canal is a block away and Gare de L'Est is a 3 minute walk. Gare de Nord is 10 minutes. We rented bikes on the street to explore the city, but metro options are also available.
I'd recommend the apartment to anyone looking to enjoy Paris without all the hassle and expense of staying in a more touristy location.
