The apartment was wonderful. We loved the location by the canal and was very handy to an event we attended at the grande halle de la villette.
It was unseasonably warm for late October so we enjoyed the balcony - great sunshine spot. The apartment had everything we needed, was spotlessly cleaned and was nice and quiet in the evening - other residents were friendly if we passed them on our way in or out. The neighbourhood had good transport links, and felt safe when coming home in the evening.
