Exceptionally good value for this area: spacious apartment in great location, in heart of trendy St Martin district, just a short walk away from Marais, etc. (Republique metro station is closer than it looks on map.)
No romantic view from the windows, but plenty of light, and privacy when curtains drawn.
Heating worked well on cold nights, and there was lots of cupboard space and plenty of hot water for showering.
Neighbours are quiet and respectful. No street noise, despite vigorous nightlife on other side of apartment.
Kitchen is basic (no microwave or nespresso) but fully functional (bodum coffee-maker & convection oven) for one or two people.
Recommended for short or extended stays.
