We had a great stay at Martin's apartment, it is in a perfect walkable location if you are arriving from Gare du Nord or Gare de l'Est, also Metro stop Louis Blanc is only minutes away. The apartment is nicely furnished with very usable kitchen. It is also a more spacious than we expected from the photos and quieter as the front windows to the street are double glazed and the bedroom is at the back, the double bed is new and very good. Toilet is as expected very small but the renovated bathroom is great and very comfortable. We have stayed in this area around Canal Saint Martin, several times in the past and this has been the most pleasant experience so far. Martin was easy and quick to respond to our questions and check in was well explained easy to find and efficient. The apartment is safe, comfortable and in a good location for walking trips and close to public transport. Highly recommended.
