I loved the place. I probably won't go to Paris in the summer again as nobody air conditions but Joseph had a couple of fans that worked great. I walked everywhere as Joseph's apartment is close to everything. The metro was quite easy to figure out - its a short block from his place. He was a great host. I was able to get an earlier flight into Paris and I called him from London to let him know and he was there to meet me. I understand that Americans are afraid to go to Paris because of the terror attacks but I can only encourage people to rethink that. I never once felt in danger. There are police everywhere but they're rather low-key and Parisians are quite wonderful in their attitude. Joseph's apartment is beautiful, well-maintained and I felt as if I was living in a small art museum.
If I ever go back, I will return to his place.
