We stayed with Maguy and her adorable cat Chips for a long weekend. The location is great - it's right next to Republique and within a half hour walk to the Gare du Nord (if you're coming via Eurostar). It's very easy to get everywhere in the city as Republique is a junction of lots of transport lines. Maguy is lovely and made us feel right at home - she cooked for us (her jam is the BEST) and chatted to us and gave us tips about the area. We would definitely stay with Maguy and Chips again!
