Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located on one of the oldest streets in Paris, this apartment is brimming with character – think exposed wooden beams, antique furnishings, a piano and even a little library. The second bedroom is on the smaller side, but the views across the Parisian rooftops are picture-perfect. The neighbourhood has a vibrant, artistic energy, dotted with artisanal bakeries, cafés, and restaurants. Stroll along Canal Saint-Martin and pick up fresh produce at Marché Saint-Quentin. Fancy a day trip? Gare du Nord is just a ten-minute walk away, making this an ideal base for a quick city break.

Home truths
There's no air conditioning in this home, but there are lots of windows for letting in the breeze.
The second bedroom is on the mezzanine level and quite small. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
This is a well-loved rental home, with a light signs of wear in some places.
Parking in Madrid can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Gare de l’Est is a five-minute walk away.

Local guide
About Canal Saint Martin - Oberkampf
Canal Saint Martin is to Paris what Williamsburg once was to New York or Shoreditch was to London. This part of town still retains a certain grittiness that has been largely lost from the abovementioned counterparts - gentrification is undoubtedly on its way but the area still feels authentic and edgy so get there before this changes! You'll be rubbing shoulders with Paris's hippest young things, smoking and drinking outside...
