This apartment has plenty of space for a Paris apartment, and it's nice to have the washer in the apartment itself! Nice having the separate bedroom, living room and kitchen. Quiet area, great base for your Paris visit. Just a few minutes walk to Goncourt Metro, Place de la Republique is just 10 minute walk. The immediate area around the apartment is safe. There is a cemetary nearby and the canal to visit, but what we liked the most is the cleanliness of the apartment and the quick response by the host. We recommend this apartment for your stay. There are six flights of stairs to climb, so you should be aware of this. We didn't mind, it worked off some of the calories from the gazillion croissants we ate!
