Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you suspect that staying in a loft in one of Paris' most exciting neighbourhoods might be the life for you, then this home is the perfect pick. The open-plan living space is thoroughly modern, with crisp, white walls and a giant skylight that ushers in plenty of natural light. Retro lovers will enjoy hours of entertainment with the old-school arcade game machine, while fitness fanatics can use the collection of weights for an invigorating workout. Those looking to work remotely will enjoy setting up in the light-filled mezzanine space, which is perfect for co-working, and when you need a break you can whip up a hot coffee or use the fruit press to make some fresh orange juice. The Canal Saint-Martin is just two minutes away, and while this area is not especially central, it has become one of the coolest neighbourhoods in recent years. Be prepared to meet a very hip crowd who hang out at the independent bars and restaurants along the water, and grab a coffee if you want to join them for a stroll. And, if you want to head into the heart of the city, just hop on the métro at Jacques Bonsergent station... to arrive there in around fifteen minutes.

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...
