We stayed for 5 nights at Wolf's appartment. It was a pleasure to work with Wolf before booking (quickly communications) and after. Descriptions are accurate as indicated.
Location. It is very near from metro Republique. 1 entry from calm rue Meslay and another from Boulevard Saint-Marten, 17. We used second one. Market Monop is near the entry. Metro stattion is also 20 metres from entry. You can get to any part of Paris from this disctrict. There are lot of restaraunts/cafes around. The disctrict is safe. We walked in the night and everything was Ok.
Check-in. When we are arrived we send a SMS to Joana (Wolf's friend) and agreed the final check-in time. She wait us in the apartment. She show and explain everything. It was early morning when we check out. So we just put the keys on the table and closed the door (spring-lock).
Flat. on the 2nd floor. Neighbourn is calm. Everythings are as on the photo. Spiral stairs is hard but I guess it is usual for Paris's old houses. no elevator. Stairs to the bed is little bit unconfortable. House is old but flat has modern decorations. Rooms are big. It is little bit noisy before 10 pm but after the apartment is quiet. Additional sofa in the living room is good for 2 persons.
Equipment. Everything was there (TV, wi-fi, hairdryer, washing machine, towels, micro-wave, fridge, kettle, dish washer, toaster, boiler, coffee machine, plates, cups, forks, knives etc). Couple of light bulbs doesn't work but it is no big deal for us.
I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to my friends.
Good choice for good price.
