Perks for the Parents

A smart, contemporary apartment in the hip neighborhood of Canal Saint-Martin, with 2 outdoor terraces perfectly set up for alfresco dining, and relaxing. It sleeps 4. The residence provides laid back living with a cosmopolitan vibe, surrounded by gardens, parks and canal walks but with easy access to boho cafes, trendy bars and foodie restaurants along the waterside. Inside, the open plan living area is well set up for family hangouts, with a separate games room for kids on the second floor when space needed. The 2-level arrangement - with the primary bedroom on a separate floor from the kids - means that parents get the downstairs all to themselves in the evening to enjoy a leisurely dinner, a movie on the projector or simply some time to themselves. Exploring the wider city couldn’t be easier with the transport hub of Place de la République just 5 minutes’ walk away.

Why Kids Love it

Kids of all ages will enjoy this laid-back apartment with plenty of space to play and a floor to themselves with its own games room. The kids’ bedrooms have fun splashes of color, with one set up bunk style with a desk space underneath.

The hosts have bicycles that guests can borrow and there are also canal cruises for a fun way to explore. There are many family-friendly restaurants along the waterway including Le Comptoir Général (4 minutes' away), full of toys and activities for younger ones with an iconic model ship at its center. For foodie loving kids, the Marché Couvert Saint-Martin is a 15-minute walk away with an array of food stalls under cover offering samples of local produce.

Style Notes

City pad. A light, bright and effortlessly comfortable apartment surrounded by peaceful greenery and gardens, yet minutes from the city buzz. Art, décor and sleek modernist furniture reflect its cosmopolitan roots with arthouse posters, a curated music collection and design led pieces emanating a creative vibe. The kids’ rooms are the perfect mix of play and comfort with bold wallpaper, feature color walls and cozy wood floors which will appeal to every age. We love the bright, sunny terraces filled with greenery and vibrant outdoor furniture to create a laid back yet fun place to gather or unwind.
