We stayed in the apartment for 4 weeks. The location is fantastic being so close to the Republic Metro station! The apartment has great internet, hot water, quiet as it is in the interior of a block, working washing machine with a dryer, plenty of electrical outlets, good lighting, an American coffee pot, good size dining room table for using computer and eating. Laurent is very responsive; you do not meet him, however there is another person to let you in and help you out.
The reason the apartment is quite is it is located on the inside of the block and there are 7 doors, 9 if you include in and out of the elevator, 3 combinations and 1 key, and 2 walkways which take you outside twice to get to the apartment, one of the outside walkways is not lit at night so we used our phone lights to get to the apartment.. You must get used to this and include the time in your planning.
I must admit I am a super tidy person; the apartment floors and counters were not as clean as I like so I quickly brought them to my standards with the numerous cleaning supplies that are available.
There is only 1 closet in 1 of the bedrooms. There is no safe for storing valuables, however we felt very safe in the apartment. We would definitely stay in the apartment again!
