Great location between Place de la Republique and Gare de l'Est. 2 minutes to metro 5 Jacques Bonsergent. Shops and restaurants conveniently close. Nevertheless really quiet. Also, I barely heard the neighbours. Appartment has everything you need even for a longer stay. I really enjoyed my 5 months long stay and would be happy to do it again. Things to note though: the place was not properly cleaned upon arrival and the host agreed to clean it only after a lenghtly discussion and only after 2 days. I ended up cleaning most of the flat by myself by then. Ruined my first weekend. Afterwards Sophie and her husband were super nice, helpful and quick to reply. Also, windows by the couch bed are old, so it can get cold during winter nights. The couch bed can be easily moved around though.
