Although I was running a bit late because of transport delays, I was able to check in with no problem. Communication with the host was easy and she was very attentive in making sure I was ok by checking up on me after check in. Her room is very spacious and the apartment was quiet even though it is in a shared flat. There is a lift which helps tremendously with large luggage. The apartment is a 6 minute walk away from Republique square, thus you can access main attractions and public transportation easily!
