I had a fantastic stay in Bertrand's apartment. It is very clean, spacious, bright (no direct sun though, as it gives on an inner courtyard, which guarantees peace and quiet in the center of Paris). The kitchen is small but fully functional. The apartment is artfully decorated, with modern bathroom, appliances, etc. The bed is very comfortable. And the location is excellent! Within 3 minutes walk of two different subway stops, and 7 minutes from the major Republique hub. Plus, the neighborhood is extremely lively with many great cafes and restaurants. I recommend it without reservation :-)
