Had a wonderful stay here with my mother for Christmas and really enjoyed the apartment. The kitchen in particular was much appreciated with everything one could need. There were even utensils for escargot which was a happy surprise! While the street is quite busy, the apartment was quiet at night, and its location on the corner of the metro and just a short walk from Republique made it very easy to get around Paris, though even walking most places was no trouble either. The neighbourhood itself was a treat with plenty of shoppes for food, wine, bread, and anything else desired.
We greatly enjoyed our stay and would heartily recommend Valerie and Etienne's place to anyone looking to stay in Paris for a short or extended trip.
