We had a fantastic stay here. It's in a wonderful neighborhood of Paris, lively and fun to spend time in. Being right by Republique gives you easy access to lots of RATP options for getting around the city, but it's also an easy walk to many attractions and great areas like the Marais. The apartment was very clean when we came. It's small, but the two of us had no trouble sharing the space; and with such a wonderful city to explore, you're not likely to spend a great amount of time at home!
