This was the perfect spot to spend a week solo. The proximity to the République metro stop meant that everything felt close by (though Paris is so walkable, I didn’t take it all that much!). The few times I came back from exploring in the middle of the day, I really enjoyed all the light in the apartment, thanks to a big window and skylight. While the apartment is technically small, the layout makes it feel bigger and it felt like more than enough space for for me. It probably would have been just as comfortable with a partner. As some other reviews note, there is a lively bar downstairs and people gather there till late. It didn’t bother me, but if you’re sensitive to noise, pack accordingly. Already scheming to return and stay here again ASAP.
