Joan's apartment was perfect as a base for our family trip to Paris. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us (two adults and two adult-sized teenagers), and it was easy to get provisions from one of the local supermarkets or bakeries. There are several metro stations within walking distance which made it easy to get around and see the city sights, but the local neighbourhood is vibrant and pleasant too. The beds were comfy and the living room a lovely space to hang out. Joan is a kind and accommodating host and I highly recommend his place.
