Louise's place is great, centrally located near the Place de la Republique. Plenty of nearby cafes, grocery stores, and various Metro stops. The place is newly renovated, but maintains the charm of old-school Paris. By that I mean the courtyard is really cute, but there is no clothes dryer or dishwasher. There is a washer and clothes rack for drying clothes, which worked surprisingly well in the summer. The fans in every bedroom were also great during the summer months, but keep in mind that were a family from South Florida. I want to emphasize that this location is great and the apartment is very well-appointed.
