Olivier was in touch with us on a regulr basis to ensure we made it to his plae. The concierge downstairs was very helpful and we found the neighbourhood very vibrant, ethnic and exciting. There is a lovely bar and eating plcfe just across the street (going over the canal) which we loved. The flat its self is just fine for two we all the space we needed. It is in a perfect location to get to the nearby Republique underground and lots of restaurants. Women please not that there are lots of small cool shops in the surrounding shops with lovely clothes (my daughter bought THREE leather jackets!!) all for a very good price. Little convenience store just over the road. Thanks Olivier for letting us stay.
