If you've been to Paris before and only need a place to rest your head, this is a great spot to drop your things and get out into the city. The location is great - you can easily get around town from République. The flat itself is not exactly what we were expecting - the paint is peeling and generally it could be cleaned up a bit. But as I said, if you just need some place to sleep, it'll do the job. Though we didn't meet Olivier, he was very accommodating whenever we were in touch.
