Walter is an excellent host, and his apartment is a great place to stay. The location of the apartment cannot be beat. It is steps away from Place de la République and all of its amenities (including excellent transit) It is also close to rue de Bretagne, and all of the great neighborhood-y things that street has to offer. The Monoprix around the corner is also a big plus! As for the apartment, it is roomy (perfect for families), with new appliances. It makes staying their a breeze. One unexpected plus of the apartment is that is across the street from a school, and it is fun to watch the ebb and flow of Parisian life as the school day progresses. We would highly recommend a stay at Walter’s place!
