Excellent location, beautiful apartment. It is a unique experience to stay in someone’s home, and this place truly makes you feel it is a home and not just another hotel room. It’s comfortable and has a beautiful balcony overlooking multiple streets. There are five sets of stairs but really the first one is split by a landing, so it is really four flights. The location is extremely close to the Republique station and we could get to anywhere in Paris within 25 min and most places much shorter. Loved the local cafes nearby, and found two amazing bars, Lavomatic and Candelaria within close walking distance. Felt very safe. Highly recommend especially for the value.
