The location is excellent - close to Republique where you get great public transport connections and can also walk to many places. The apartment is renovated and clean and has all the basics. However, keep in mind that it is really small - essentially just the bed, shower and fridge, so it's fine if you plan to only come back for the night (which you probably will when in Paris) but not if you intend to work or spend more time in the apartment. Also, while you can't hear any noise from the street, you will hear your neighbours walking up and down the stairs or even cooking in their apartments. Overall, it is a decent deal for Paris.
