Saùl is a great host, very welcoming, I loved staying in his flat, and you can feel he lives there, it's not just a rental,. It is ideally situated, between the buzzing Canal St Martin and the Rue des Faubourgs St M, but quiet enough at night, within walking distance from tge Gard du Nord or the Gard de l'Est. Coffee & croissant on the canal before you start your day or an apéritif later on, perfect
