We recommend this apartment with no hesitation. We very much enjoyed our stay. The apartment is nicely decorated and very comfortable. It’s on the 5th floor ( 6th by US standards) with an elevator, which is great. As I suspect you know, elevators are not the rule in Paris. So nice to have after a long day, or when carrying a suitcase. The kitchen is well equipped , including a dishwasher and a washing machine. The bed was good, the shower had excellent water pressure, the wifi was fast. The location is convenient, you are one block from Republique and close to other metro stations as well. There are many restaurants, cafes, bakeries, grocery stores, etc in the neighborhood. Jean Claude was an exceptional host, very kind and friendly, who went above and beyond. We would be happy to stay here again
