We had a great stay at Simon's apartment. We walked from the train station, about 20 min walk. Simon met us at the door when we arrived and answered all our travel questions. He also gave us a metro map with tips on where to explore which was very helpful! The apartment was clean and bright with more than enough space for 2. It was about 5 min walking to the metro and 10 min walking to the canal. The grocery store on the same block was nice and there were cafes at every corner. We would recommend this place for a couple staying in Paris.
