Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home features a spacious open-plan communal space with a soothing neutral decor and bedrooms with personality. Although its location just across the Marais border means it's a bit of a stroll to reach the sights, the home makes up for it with spotless bathrooms, endless stylish details and exposed beams for a touch of rustic charm. It would suit a group of adults looking to make the most out of the lively neighbouring Marais, but it could also work for a family after a base from which to explore the sights.

Home truths
It's on a first floor with no lift access so some stairs are unavoidable
Two guests may use the double sofa bed in the living space but it will be at the expense of lounge seating
The living room lacks enough lounge seating for the capacity of the home so don't plan a movie session with the whole group
The second bedroom feels slightly overlooked by the building opposite as it's quite close
There's a nightclub nearby, so it can get a bit noisy at times
Your host operates multiple apartments in this building so the exact furnishing, layout and views may differ from the photos but expect similar quality.

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...
