Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This is a small but perfectly formed studio located between Place de la Republique and Canal Saint-Martin (and very close to arguably the best bakery in the city, Du Pain et des Idees!). The entrance to the building is through a peaceful courtyard, allowing you to escape the bustle on your doorstep. The decor is a mix of contemporary and vintage design, with bold artwork and ornaments throughout. This is a great romantic bolthole in a hip Paris neighbourhood.

Home truths
This is a studio flat and so there is no separate bedroom. The toilet is in a separate room, but the shower and sink facilities are open to the main room.
The studio is located on the 4th floor and there is no elevator in the building so you will have to take the stairs.
There is no dining table in the studio.

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...
