A fantastic two-bedroom apartment, with all the amenities you need for a trip to Paris. Great for families with kids, or two couples. The apartment was clean, and everything worked well. Check-in was easy, as were communications with the hosts. (Tip: there is a mobile phone store about two blocks down the street to get a French SIM card.) Great conveniences in the neighborhood: several small grocery stores and markets, bakeries, cafes, restaurants, play grounds, etc. La Republique is a different area that central Paris, and isn't overrun with tourists. Easy transportation to/from the airport, and there are two metro stops within two blocks. We will definitely be back!
The only thing to be aware of is that because the building is old, the electricity occasionally flips. Re-setting the breakers was simple, and it wasn't a huge issue at all. Only happened twice while we were there. Tip: the breaker box is next to the bathroom near the front door.
We loved this place, hope we can go back, and definitely recommend it to everyone!
