The apartment by the Canal is large, beautifully decorated and practical for a longer stay. It has all the amenities one needs for an enjoyable stay in Paris. It is near a Metro station, and shops such as supermarket, wine store, post office, etc., are nearby on Avenue de Flandre, a short walk away. Two cinemas are nearby on the quays. We were well received by a friend of the owner who explained how to access the garage and the apartment as well as how the TV, coffee maker and stove work.
