This apartment is in a fabulous location and has great bones! It is just up from Place de la Republique and has some very cool eateries nearby. The beautiful timber floor and balcony to the street is marvellous. It does get noisy at night, so not for those who sleep lightly. This is however, one of those airbnb's that is not run professionally with new towels and sheets "commercially" laundered each time for that lovely fresh crisp feeling, so cleanliness and freshness was not up to standard for us. We felt it was a little like staying at your uncles house where everything is "vintage", but you were paying around $200 a night! It is also not one of those apartments where you can really cook a meal. The kitchen facilities are inadequate, so a very basic pasta at best.
