I had a very nice stay in Eliane’s apartment. It is large, comfortable, clean, and exactly as it appears in the photos. The kitchen is well stocked, the bed comfortable, and the separate toilet/shower setup quite convenient. It’s exceptional to have such a large living space in the heart of Paris, and I was always happy returning to the apartment after a day of work/sightseeing.

The building itself is in a relatively quiet street and conveniently located. The most walkable part of the Canal Saint-Martin is a half block away; the metro stop Republique, a major hub for east Paris, is a five-minute walk, and there are many excellent restaurants and bars within a short walk or metro ride. This is an excellent carrefour for exploring the animation of northeastern Paris, and one is still within walking distance of the historic center.

Finally, Eliane was a very kind and considerate host. Communication was excellent, check-in a breeze, and she clearly cares about her property and her guests’ experience.
