We stayed for two weeks and this spot helped make our full family experience-us, our kids, and their grandparents-of Paris wonderful. I would highly recommend it for a family experience. It especially gave our kids a lot of room to spread out and move and had many things to help keep them entertained when we weren’t out in the city, like a foosball table, toys, books, and interesting things to explore. It is also situated ideally for getting around both within Paris and around France. The neighborhood isn’t overwhelmed with tourists but all of the sightseeing hits are within very reasonable metro rides. The major gares are within walking distance making day trips outside the city easy (we went to Strasbourg and back in a day). Finally, there are lots of bike lanes around, including up and down the Canal St. Martin (which is beautiful and minutes away) making hopping on a Velib to explore simple and safe if you’re comfortable with protected bike lane urban riding. There are excellent neighborhood spots including boulangeries, groceries, and an organic grocery store and the kitchen is well appointed for a rental. We made a ha it of eating out one meal and cooking one meal each day and stopped in neighborhood cafes for apéro. Many buzzy spots that have gotten positive press are a walk or short ride away but still within the 10th arrondissement. Finally, as others have said, Paul is an excellent host who goes above and beyond, and is super friendly and responsive.
