The apartment is just like in the photos, but once there it's clear it's time for some maintenance. Check in was super easy and the place is a stone's throw from Republique metro. If you're a light sleeper the place is not for you due to regular trains rumbling underfoot, as stated in other reviews. Having previously lived in Paris and being familiar with real estate there, I can say that they've done a lot with a little space, but it doesn't feel small. Hopefully after bringing maintenance issues up with the hosts, the owners will address things like the moldy bedroom walls, as well as bathroom walls, and slow draining shower. I also mentioned a house manual would be helpful because we couldn't figure out the stove top (it was on child lock), the heaters weren't self explanatory, just some small things. A nice place, but it needs some TLC. We stayed in January 2023 and paid £758.08 for three nights.
