Great location and very quiet for a city apartment. We live in the countryside so look for a quiet place when travelling to allow a good sleep (important when you spend all day sightseeing)
Eliane was not able to greet us but her instructions for locating the building and access were very clear and worked well. She responded to our questions quickly and was helpful in offering advice.
You have everything required if you wish to cook but there are plenty of places to eat nearby. We tried several places and Boullion was great for a simple menu, tasty food and good value but it does get very busy after 7pm!
The metro lines from Rupublique allow you to access all major places in the city with ease.
The balcony is large and plenty of room but it was quite cold at night so we did not use it. I expect on a warm evening it will be nice to sit out and relax with a drink. We would be happy to return to Eliane's place again :)
