Great value of money. The apartment is located very centrally and is close to multiple metro stations (Républic, Chateau D'eau, Strasbourg St Dennis), and within 10 minute walk of major train stations (Gare du nord et Gare de l'est). Many bistros, cafe, boulangeries and interesting shops around. There is a comic book store just across the street and the owner is super helpful if you express your interest into getting entry to the French comic world. Apart from the neighborhood the apartment itself was neat and clean, nicely organized with soooo many books to read. Very highly recommended.
