We had a great weekend stay in Vincent's apartment. The location was perfect, you can see the metro station from the front door and both Republique and the Canal St. Martin are about a block in either direction. The bed was very comfortable and took seconds to set up. We were surprised at how extremely quiet it was at night, even on a saturday, no noise from the street or neighbouring apartments. My boyfriend is recovering from a broken leg so we were concerned about there being no lift but there's a lovely old wooden winding staircase with not many stairs, it was no problem to get up and down.
