Jean-Philippe was an amazing host with an amazing apartment! His space is bright, airy and beautiful. The amenities were great- a comfortable bed/ bedroom loft, couch and shower/ bathroom. The kitchen was really why I booked the place for the holiday. The induction stove and convection optional oven were perfect (tip: always look up the manual when before using). The location of the apartment was amazing. It was right in the arts, theatre and cultural area I like. I would recommend this is safe stay for a woman traveling alone.
The building is safe and friendly. There are two doors/ gates, which is normal in France, and the apartment is on the 3rd floor (4th for Americans) in an easy walk up. The area is very walkable. It seemed like everything was about a 20min walk or less, which is the way (other than a scooter) to get around. There's plenty of options for grocery, about an 8min walk to the nearest taxi stand, and Ubers are generally available. A fabulous stay! I would return!
