This is a great flat in a great location! We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. We like Place Republique and the neighborhood around it, as it is not overly touristy, and yet you are still very close to all the attractions and several metro lines to get you anywhere you want to go in the city. Also, there are many reasonably priced restaurants, shops and cafes in the area, so you are not gorged my tourist pricing. At night, in the summer, the canal is a great place to hang out and watch the people go by. The owner was completely courteous and professional, and we had no problems getting the keys or checking out. We hope to stay here again on our next trip to Paris!
