We used John’s pied-a-Terre as a home base for two weeks while in Paris. The Saint Marten neighborhood is a fascinating crossroads of people from all over the world - kinda reminds one of San Francisco’s Mission District. Excellent restaurants, cafes, and shops of all kinds are right outside the doors to the building. We really enjoyed having a bottle of wine on the canal in the evenings while people watching and feeding food scraps to the resident swan. Booking this place for two weeks was an excellent decision on our part as the Republic Metro Station is just a short walk away and provides access to everything Paris has to offer. 😘
