Bright blue velvet couches and vibrant contemporary artwork brings a pop of colour and ground us firmly in the 21st century – as do the TV, air conditioning and modern kitchen. We love that the couches face each other to create a lounge conducive to conversation, while the large dining table can seat up to twelve guests for an animated dinner party. If you don’t feel like eating in though, you’re staying in the right place. You’ll find excellent bars and restaurants in this busy neighbourhood teeming with artists and musicians.

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!
