Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated in Paris’ trendy 10th arrondissement, this small but well-thought-out apartment is within walking distance of the Canal Saint-Martin and a short metro ride from the Marais and Latin Quarter neighbourhoods. The home suits a couple or solo traveller who is always on the go, as the kitchen is better suited to light meals rather than full feasts. But when you need to take a break from your busy itinerary, it’s a comfortable enough place to kick back and relax.

Home truths
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and a microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
Given the home's location, you may hear some street noise throughout your stay.

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...
