Patricia's place is fantastic. Love the coziness of her nicely decorated apartment. Apartment is right smacked in the middle of 2 metro stations, Jacques Bonsergent and République, which will connects you to other parts of Paris easily.
There are some nice bakeries, restaurants within the area. Carrefour is also within walking distance. We also spent some time walking around and beyond Place de la République which also have much things to offer. Patricia stays in contact with us constantly throughout our stays, ensuring everything is all right. They are the epitome of great and model hosts!
However during our stays, there was a gun shooting incident few streets away and there were massive police presence all over the area which makes us apprehensive. Thankfully, we left the very next day and there was a riot which spreads to République square which could hamper our mobility if we are there
I believed this is just a one off incident and it cannot take away their deservingly 5 stars!
