Jasmin was great greeting my late arrival and explained everything.
The apt is very spacious compared to what you normally see in Paris. Very comfy bed, good shower and big windows (i loved the curtain though as sometimes I had to sleep late). Location is very good just three doors down from the canal where all the buzz is - Chez Prune, Hotel du Nord etc.
Republique was a convenient 6 minute walk and a cafe on the corner with good breakfast was a good start of the day.

I was touched by the bottle of wine Jasmin left for me, it was great to have a glass every evening after work.
