Anna's place was a bit worn out and not situated in the nicest corners of Canal St Martin, but right in front of Gare de l'Est on the Bld St Martin. The place was noisy because of being situated right next to a heavy metallic door frequently slammed by the resident of the building. The apartment living room is pretty dark, feels very exposed to the tiny courtyard that host the staircase for the other residents.
Otherwise, the bed was very comfortable and the loft had a bit more light as advertised, but it still feels like a main floor apt.
The place is conveniently placed close to Gare de l'Est subway and some bus lines. We thought it was too expensive for what it was.
