I can only echo all the previous reviews - a 1 minute walk to the metro so hugely convenient and 1 minute in the other direction to the canal and a host of bars & restaurants. Also just a very short walk to the beautiful Buttes Chaumont park with lovely views across Paris. Sara was super responsive and helpful, and offered a whole bunch of useful recommendations. For the full French experience, there is a great little bar on the corner - Bar L'ourcq - which rents petanque to play by adjacent the canal. Great week - would have no hesitation is staying here again.
