Chic Spacious Quiet House 125m2 Terrace Heart of Paris Canal St Martin 2 BR A / C

We enjoyed our stay in Benoit’s home. It was quiet, safe and had two beautiful outdoor spaces. The kitchen was well stocked with every tool you could possibly need to make a variety of dishes. The downstairs was very spacious and well appointed. I appreciated the owners attention to detail. The beds were comfortable and the linens were high quality with an abundance of towels. The location of the home was convenient to markets and the metro. Benoit was very kind and helpful.

It was in an intriguing neighborhood. We felt like we were part of a community and not tourists. Loved the amenities like the Monoprix. Also loved the avant guard house- all the amenities of home. We felt very safe.

We've rented several properties through VRBO in Paris, and this one is by far our favorite. It was exactly as billed: a quiet, spacious, well-appointed home in a non-touristy neighborhood full of amenities: markets, boulangerie, restaurants/bars, etc. The house is located on a private passage of homes & small businesses that gets no foot-traffic at night except for residents. You can sleep with the windows open and hear little if anything of the surrounding city. All that and very comfortable beds too! The house has a big kitchen/dining area that lends itself well to group cooking and dining. There were three of us (one couple + friend); the home would very comfortably accommodate 4 people, thanks to open floorplan downstairs and two toilets--one per floor. Nearby bus & metro (Goncourt) lines get you most anywhere in central Paris within 20 minutes or so. If you opt for walking, it's about a half-hour walk to the heart of the Marais. Host Benoit provided us with a gracious and thorough orientation to his home and neighborhood, and left us with detailed notes about where to eat and shop during our weeklong stay. We appreciated his responsiveness from booking through arrival, and his willingness to entrust us with his house. We highly recommend it on all counts!

The appartment is nice and has an individual style, good for up to four people. Some parts need a bit of renovation (e.g. door second sleeping room or kitchen countertop, but overall it is o.k. We had two negative issues during our stay: a) the cat of the neighbour whined several nights, which was really loud in the small courtyard b) we had a broken chair (glue between legs and seat didn't hold any longer). We informed the owner and agreed, that we would pay for the repair. But without any further notice a withdrawl of 500 € was debited from our account. That exceeds the current value of the chair or the repair cost by far. NOT FAIR !!!.

Nice location and enough space for all 4 people in our group. Very responsive host with clear arrival and departure instructions.

Benoit was very welcoming and briefed us clearly. The industrial, stylish decor and intruiging art is quirky enough to make the experience feel unique and special, yet everything is practical and comfortable with good quality bedding and generous towels. We spent long days happily visiting museums and art galleries and particularly valued how stress-free it was to buy groceries, bread and patisserie all within a couple of minutes walk. Our home-cooked evening meals (plenty of equipment available) were enjoyed in the cosy courtyard full of green and thriving plants. The view out of the main bedroom is green and pleasant. The property is secluded and quiet, whilst there are plenty of local bars and restaurants. There are many atmospheric lights, but a couple of task lights for reading and in the bathroom would help. The metro is just 10 minutes away and is very efficient. We have already recommended it to other family members as a good base for sightseeing. Thank you to our hosts!

Benoit’s place is so comfortable. You have access to everything you need inside and outside. It’s perfectly situated to walk the Canal District or to access the best of the 10th and 11th. Metro is easy to reach for longer journeys. Most of all the way the property is well withdrawn from the street gives you a great sense of privacy and peace. Would gladly stay here again on our next return to Paris.

A great stay at this quiet flat that is convenient to all of Paris. Not more than a couple of blocks from the metro this was a great way to be outside of the tourist area but with easy access. We loved the house but maybe more importantly loved being able to go to the corner bakery every morning and being close to some nice restaurants. Host is great and patiently answered our questions before and after arrival. And the garden was an extra bonus as we had poppies and roses blooming the whole time we were there! If you are looking for a spacious and simple Paris flat this is a great find. Thanks Benoit for hosting us!

Wonderful, well-appointed apartment convenient to multiple metro lines. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Benoit was most accommodating. We loved having a fireplace. Mr. Bricolage is right down the street for firewood. Stores, markets and bakeries are all close by. I would recommend this apartment to anyone.

My friend and I loved the location of this unit. It felt like a real city neighborhood and gave us a taste of the experience of everyday Parisians. It was a short walk to the Metro; a few steps to a grocery and a fabulous bakery (wonderful croissants or quiche for breakfast daily); the neighborhood cafes had delicious food for reasonable prices; we felt the entire area to be warm and welcoming. Easy walks to the Canal, Place de Republic. Our host offered flexible check-in/check-out. The apartment was comfortable with a/c in the bedrooms and windows downstairs to let in the freshness. The apartment was super QUIET.
