This place was really cute and in the middle of the Republique hood. There is a lot of shopping and hustle and bustle. The apartment had all of the basics and was clean. It can get loud in the evenings which if you are a light sleeper will keep you awake. There is an awesome thrift store around the corner and other great shops. It can get hot in the apartment when Paris is hot, and there was no cooling system so that is something to consider.
