We had a wonderful 2 night stay. Clementine' s place is beautiful and well thought out in it' s minimalist design, very cozy and welcoming. It was like staying in a cabin in the middle of a vibrant - and not so touristy - part of Paris.
If you arrive in advance of the 4:00 pm check-in time, you can lock up your luggage at Gare de L'Est, which is a short walk away and relax by the Canal or in the nearby park.
