Location is excellent, tons of great restaurants and cafes around. Felt very safe at all hours as well. Easy access to metro at the Republique stop about a 5 minute walk, and a 10 minute walk to the river. Great museums and shopping nearby. Benjamin was super helpful and accommodating for check in. The apartment is modern and clean, and fully stocked with kitchen stuff. Benjamin also had some snacks waiting for us and coffee for the nespresso machine. Great wifi. We had 5 and so one of us stayed on the couch, and he said it was comfortable and had full bedding. I think this is a perfect neighborhood for a first visit to Paris as well, easy access to everything you want to see. Thanks Benjamin
