Cristina's apartment is wonderful! The location couldn't be better. The nearest metro (less than 5 minutes walk) is Republique which is a main interchange, so you can easily get to all areas of Paris from there. There were cafes, a bakery, a supermarket within minutes from the apartment as well as more unusual eateries (a ceviche restaurant!).
The apartment was spotlessly clean, and offered everything you could need. It is beautifully decorated with interesting artworks and you can see that this is someone's home, not just a holiday let. The apartment is on the 6th floor of the building but there is a small lift to get you to the top!
We were met and welcomed by Bruno who was very kind and helpful. Cristina was very accommodating and allowed us to access the apartment slightly earlier than the stated time and was also able to let us leave our bags at the apartment until later on the checkout day. Cristina had also kindly provided us with 2 fans which we really appreciated as the temperatures soared to nearly 40 degrees during our stay.
I definitely recommend staying at Cristina's apartment. Thank you Cristina for a wonderful visit to Paris!
