Great flat and great location - the bedroom was very big and light. The area, Republique, is quite hipster with nice restaurants and cafes. I'd recommend popping into 'Du Pain et des Idees' for breakfast pastries - voted to have some of the best croissants in Paris. It was sadly raining during my stay but I found a great cafe nearby called Narma - a perfect place to relax with a nice book. Great hosts, everything was clean and all utilities provided.
