My husband and I stayed for over a week in Melanie's apartment. The location was excellent. There are at least two bakeries around the corner, less than 5 minutes away. I would recommend walking over to Aux Péchés Normands, amazing baguettes, and pastries; especially their croissants. For breakfast go to République of Coffee. Great coffee! There are plenty of restaurants to choose from on the same street where the apartment is. Easy and quick access to Metro 3 at Temple and then at République you can access lines 3, 5, 8, 9, and 11. So yes the apartment is in a great location.
Melanie was an excellent host, friendly and helpful. She replied to our messages in a timely manner and we can only compliment her on her customer service. She speaks French, English, and Spanish.
The apartment is very spacious and faces south. Needless to say, when sunny the light that comes in makes the place so peaceful that we doubted to go outside. It was very clean when we checked in. We found everything as advertised on the AirB&B. No complaints whatsoever. We had everything we needed to cook a couple of nights. There are two supermarkets 5 minutes away.
We recommend this apartment and we would definitely stay here when we visit Paris again.
