Although the apartment is small, with a small shower cubicle, it is comparable in size to a hotel room and is still a good space for a few days , if you want to get out and explore Paris. We spent four days in the accomodation and it was fine. It is well located, half way between Republique and Stassbourg/St Denis metro stations which are 5 mins away. There are plenty of restaurants and takeaways nearby, and a Monoprix near Strassbourg/StDenis.
