Chiara's apartment had a very easy check-in routine, and the apartment was sparkling and fresh when we arrived.

The neighborhood is positively magical--vibrant and alive. You're never more than a 20 to 30 minute walk to most of everything in town, there's a Metro stop nearby, and you're smack in the middle of one of the best intersections in the 10th arr.

If there's one drawback, in fact, it's that this particular part of town can be a little too lively on some nights, since it's so close to the Canal, which is where true Parisians congregate and hang out. So for those looking for "pin-drop-audible-silence", you might be better served looking in another corner of town.

All in all, A+. Highly recommend.
