The location is really fantastic -- it's lively and interesting. There is a wonderful bakery at the corner, bistros, upscale and casual dining, nearby shops at your doorstep and within a ten minute radius including vintage toys, home decor, clothing, etc. Republique square and canal St. Martin are great spots to sit. There are small grocers and pharmacies within a block. If you want to explore more of Paris, you can walk to several attractions in under an hour and you are less than 1 minute from a metro station with two lines, allowing you to easily access all other areas of the city or the larger train stations.
Afifa's directions were very easy to follow and very organized. Her communication was always prompt and she was especially attentive at the time of our check-in. We were able to meet with her shortly after our arrival and she was super lovely and sincere with lots of suggestions about the area.
The space is exactly as described and shown -- it's small but very functional. All was clean and tidy. There are pots and pans to cook a light meal on the small cooktop, a kettle, a small fridge, and a microwave. The shower is fantastic. The bed is comfy and a little soft. There is a fan available for unexpected heat waves. There is a sizeable table for work or meals. Wifi was slow at times but always reliable. The only thing we could have wanted here was more time!
