This apartment is located down a lovely, secure passageway. It is also located close to at least 4 metro stations and the Gare de l'est. It is a vibrant multi-ethnic neighborhood with great cafés, shops (cheese, wine, fruits/vegetables, restaurants serving all types of food, grocery stores, etc.). Check-in time went smoothly and Iliana (Gina's daughter) was gracious and helpful. The apartment has a comfortable bed and is well equipped: kitchen items, washer/dryer combo, dishwasher, oven, hairdryer, iron, hangers, TV (with Netflix), etc. There is a rain shower that always had hot water available. Iliana is a gracious host.
