Loved this location. Close to many excellent restaurants and cafés. Just a block from République station (handy Métro station with many lines). Also just a block away in the other direction is Canal Saint-Martin, a great spot to walk, picnic, or just sit (or stop at one of the restaurants along it). Can't say enough good about the location, as a first time visitor it was ideal.
The apartment itself was cozy, clean, and well equipped. Internet was fast as promised. Check-in was through a concierge service who were great.
I'd absolutely stay here again.
