We were met at the property by a concierge. The location was as described - 5 mins from Republique metro station which has several metro lines, making it easy to get to about all locations within Paris. We walked to Gare de L'est with luggage on the day we left and it took us 20 mins.
The property was as per the photos and was spacious enough for 4 adults. The kitchen was small (and I couldn't find a kettle) but functional and we managed to cook dinner during the stay. The laundry facilities were much appreciated during our 3 week trip around Europe.
The biggest disappointment was that there was no water flowing to the little toilet room. We had to flush the toilet using buckets from the bathroom which had water. I reported to the host via email as the AirBNB published phone number got someone else who was not the host. As we were only there 3 nights, it was not fixed by the time we left.
