Jean-Marc's place was easy to find and easily accessible to Laumiere Metro station. There is a bakery, a supermarket, a phone shop and a HALAL kebab stall within walking distance of the place. The room sees over the rooftops of the other buildings and sunrise and sunsets are wonderful to look at from the balcony.
Jean-Marc himself is a wonderful host and makes you feel as if you're in your own home. He is friendly, knowledgable and really great to talk to, definitely able to talk about almost anything under the sun.
And will definitely remember, life isn't just about work ;)
