The Canal de Saint Martin area is delightful and Brice's apartment is centrally located within a peaceful courtyard building. As noted by others, the lack of curtains makes for a somewhat exposed experience especially at night, so bring a cover-up! Other than the bathroom being much more "intime" than the photo suggests, the description and pictures are accurate. Also, you have one wide flight of stairs to negotiate with your luggage as there is no elevator. My greeter was kind enough to carry mine up for me. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Merci, Brice et Théo!
