We stayed at this lovely little apartment during August - so the street was quiet and we were able to make the most of all the local amenities: it's a great location to enjoy central Paris, with only a 5 min walk to Republique and Strasbourg St-Denis. Check-in was smooth and our hosts were always responsive to any questions we had. There's no sofa / living room - but that was already mentioned when we booked it - didn't stop us from enjoying our stay here. Thanks!
