We had a great stay in République. Loads of places to grab food and supplies in the neighbourhood surrounding the apartment and the Metro is close by too. The furniture is a little old and delicate, but in keeping with the old Parisian feel of the place.
Families and young people need to be mindful of noise as the neighbours are a bit sensitive about any kind of noise after 10pm, even the TV.
Otherwise, it’s a great place and with it for the view alone!
