We loved our stay in Virginie´s home in Paris. The area is lovely, you can look at the canal from the balcony above and walking alongside it we found many beautiful restaraunts, bars and places. Being so close to Gare de l´Est allowed us to reach every major metro line to the city center. The appartment itself is beautifully decorated, with lots of plants and details everywhere. We felt very comfortable. Everything was clean and as it should be. We would definetly recommend it to everyone who is looking for a cozy few days in Paris!
