Even better than the photos! Large, light-filled flat, very quiet (interior courtyard) but close to everything including Republique Metro which has 5 lines, so you can get most places w/o changing, a huge bonus. The area is filled with cafes and boutiques. And...central airconditioning (hotel, style unit) which is still a rarity in Paris. Washer/Dryer, multiple coffeemakers, dishwasher, lots of dishes and a fully stocked kitchen. Our teens had their own side of the apt with their own bath. Our bath had a rain shower which was great. Book- and art-filled apt with tons of charm and character. Helene was very responsive. Hugely recommended for a Paris stay, and esp in the summer.
