Great base to stay
I already knew this area despite it being off the beaten track. The neighbourhood can feel a bit sketchy but as with anywhere, just keep your wits about you.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hotel Trema. Friendly staff and it's less than 1 minute to the Metro (quick & easy to Gare de Nord via lines 7 and 5).
Great local amenities and restaurants. A 5 minute walk from cool canal bars.
The walk along the canal is also great for discovering fab spots all the way down to Republique.
I had a single room (#14) the keyhole of which is in a tricky position (see photos) but don't be put off because once inside it wasn't as small as you may think (the bed & the room).
Also, Room 14 was high enough up that the main road didn't bother me at all.
Very small bathroom & some people may struggle to get in and out of the shower - smaller than a telephone box :-)
Same with the lift. I took it upstairs and walked down.
I didn't have food / drink at the hotel but the dining / bar area looked nice.
