Jean-Pierre and his crew were very friendly, helpful, and responsive. Unfortunately the water heater was broken our first day. But Jean-Pierre was very transparent and he fixed the problem quickly. A brisk shower gets the blood pumping.
Overall, the apartment and building were very safe. The apartment is clean and cute. I loved the Star Wars art. The bed was super comfy and it’s just a really cozy and quaint space. There are lots of shops near by, including a good wine shop. There have been some protests in the Republic square and that closes the metro for security, so keep informed on what’s going on. I loved that it wasn’t in an overly touristy, area. Quiet streets and a great atmosphere.
