Pretty cocoon canal St Martin

We found the apartment pleasant and it fulfilled our expectations; the only downsides in our eyes are the staircase (if you have to carry heavy luggage) and the nocturnal noise level, since the apartment is on a corner with several bars and restaurants— on the other hand, the neighborhood is also lively in a nice way!

All uitilities perfect, only lack of a knife to cut bread

The area was great and the flat was easy to find. Another renter had posted a couple of photos (I believe in October of 2025) of the entrance under construction. Middle of March 2026 the photos looked identical. Nothing done. Doesn’t leave a positive first impression. The flat itself was bright and sun filled. There was a lot of activity outside and it was fun to watch. Definitely more of a local vibe than one filled with tourists. Flat was nice and quiet with good black out shades in the bedroom. Shower was excellent (loads of hot water and great water pressure).

We loved this cute little apartment and everything about the neighbourhood it is in. Super close walking distance to everything you need including a supermarket and multiple great boulangeries and patisseries. Metro stations 5 mins in all directions. And great eating in Belleville and Canal Saint-Martin very close by. Lovely, hospitable hosts too. If you want a neighbourhood feel, away from the tourist traps but close to all the big ticket spots, this apartment is wonderful!

Apartment had everything we needed for a week in Paris. Very easy check in instructions and we loved the neighborhood. So many cute bars, bakeries, and restaurants near by. Host was very communicative and clear! Would definitely come back.

Mixed! the owner it on the heating in advance the apartment was as described - the owner FAILED to tell us the building was a building site with sacks of rubble dust torn floor covering, no light in the entrance - mice and a strong smell of sewage in the apartment - problems with the TV etc which the owner failed to reply to messages Book again? NO!

We loved our stay in this apartment. It was small but cozy and we had everything we needed for a lovely vacation. We loved that the subway was so close and the location was walkable to canal st martin restaurants and shops as well as Belleville. On our last night we had dinner at the restaurant across the street Les Acolytes - and really enjoyed it. Would love to stay here again in the future!

A stay where everything needed was provided! We felt like we had our own apartment in Paris.

Property was Ok, and in a pretty good location. Communication with host was good. Lots of trouble with the locking system for the apartment. Two corner bistros below meant that it wasn't quiet till after midnight.

This one-bedroom is fully furnished and stocked with practically everything — more than many vacation rentals. Laundry, fridge, microwave, toaster, tabletop oven, cooktop, Nespresso machine, dishes, cutlery, cleaning supplies, fan, ironing board, various condiments, desk, storage, couch, bed, dining table. Plus nicely decorated. As if someone really lives there and shares what they have. The host was communicative and easy to interact with. The neighborhood is not busy in terms of traffic, has many dining options nearby, is close to the metro, and within a half hour walk of Belleville Chinatown, Parc des Buttes Chaumont, Gare de l’Est, République, Oberkampf, and (if you walk fast) rue des Archives. The Canal St Martin is even closer, with its footpath and outdoor exercise equipment. The immediate area is multiethnic yet still French. The only issue can be the noise at night. There’s a club downstairs, and a bar and restaurant across the street, so music and the noise of happy people talking starts around 7pm and ends around midnight. When closed, the windows cut down the noise significantly, but in the summer the apartment gets hot and stuffy unless the windows are open — then the noise can keep you awake.
