Fantastic location. Very close to Republic. Maybe it's not the quietest place ever (you could hear conversations until late night from local pup or something), but it's Paris at the end of the day. Very good communication with the host. Although doesn't speak English that well, he's trying. Google translate might be useful though :)
Expect that the place is pretty small, but that's also Paris realities. The price is attractive.
Overall we are happy with the stay.
