Great place. I was there for a month. The neighborhood is dynamic and safe. I would sometimes come home after being out with friends until the small hours and never felt threatened . Pack light if you don’t want to carry bags up two floors of winding stairs. The apartment had a glamorous feel of old Paris, which I love. The Metro Republique is mere steps away from the front door. The building has a very nice concierge . I loved the courtyard filled with plants that she, the concierge tended to. Bonus: a convenient market right next door.
