We were staying one weekend at Maguy's appartement. I can highly recommend to stay with her. She's a very friendly and kind person who really wants you to profite from the time in Paris. She likes to give you tips and advises to discover more from Paris. Maguy's breakfast is typically french. The room and the bathroom were clean and tidy. There's an absolutely lovely cat, which always want's to be with you. I wanted to keep it ;-)
The appartement is perfectly located at the beginning of the Canal St. Martin and close to the Place de la République. Actually you can see the Canal St. Martin from your window. I love the area with its bars and restaurants. A really awesome place! You can easily walk to the Marais and Place de la Bastille. If you arrive by train, it's perfect. By metro it only take 10-15 minutes from Gare de l'est and Gare du nord to Maguy's appartement.
Definitely I will come back and stay again with Maguy.
