The Irene' apartment is located on the perfect location: one is 15-20 minutes (on foot) from both La Place de la Replublique and La Batille. It is also close to 2 Metro lines and it surrounded by little shops supermarkets and few minutes away from La rue Roquette that is packed with local restaurants and bars with reasonable prices.
The apartment itself is great for up to 4 people. It is in the old Parisian building, but equipped with the elevator and all the modern amenities. Bedroom faces the courtyard is very quiet with morning sun. Bed was comfortable. We had enough space for all our belongings. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with all equipment and supplies, nothing was missing. Internet, TV worked perfectly and sofas were very comfortable.
The apartment was very clean and exactly as the pictures depict it. It is full of interesting books and if you have time do peruse through some.
Irene was an excellent host; communication was very easy prior to our arrival, and all the information she shared with us was very useful.
I warmly recommend staying at her place
