After the noise of Paris, this place is heavenly. I didn't hear one siren inside. The place is larger than I imagined it to be. The bed is incredibly comfortable. (The bedding is hidden inside the fold out bed.) Microwave is combined with oven, see directions in white notebook near door.
The neighborhood has almost anything you could want. Two very close metro stations. I found soy milk and Kombucha at a store named "Naturalia" about 6 blocks up Blvd. Magenta on left. (There's a closed Naturalia about 3 blocks away, keep going.) A good grocery is "Intermarche", 1/2 block away on right on Blvd. Magenta.
A gorgeous night time walk is on the Canal St. Martin, 4 blocks to the right at end of block, on Rue de Lancry. Many people are out after dark. Gorgeous reflections on water. Wonderful Gelato shop on corner.
Corner bakery is very friendly, English speaking too.
