Lucie's apartment in the Canal St. Martin area is a beautiful apartment with a fully equipped kitchen and space to relax in. My family of four (two children aged 12 and 15) stayed here recently for five days, and found that we were able to make as many meals as we wished. There are many restaurants and services in the area, so we never had to go far for meals or groceries. The apartment is on the third floor, so the ability to do stairs easily is a must. We were in Paris during the recent heat wave, and we did find it a bit hard to get the apartment cool enough to sleep, so a second fan would be appreciated. The street and area are quite lively, so it was difficult to leave windows open late into the night as well (but when the windows were closed it was a lot quieter). Lucie is a gracious host, was quick to respond to questions, and checking in and out was very easy.
