Grègory's flat is just a few minutes away from Republique station, the flat is as described, small but cozy, there were 3 of us staying and it didn't feel crowded. It's at the back of the building so it's quiet and has all the basic amenities needed for a break in Paris. He wasn't there to meet us but the communication was always excellent and arranged his friends to meet us for checking in and out, and also was also flexible about arrival and leaving times.
