The apartment is perfect for a short stay (up to a week
only as there is no washing machine).
The apartment was clean and quiet and well equipped
and well (centrally) located, but know that for a couple you will be sleeping in separate beds.
(You climb only two short sets of stairs)
If you buy the 10 pack of Metro tickets, you are then
close to everything as the Place du Republic metro is
only one street away.
One very good restaurant that we went back to twice was
called Chameleon (look it up on trip Advisor)
