We had a really nice time staying in Jean-Luc's apartment. We didn't get to meet Jean-Luc, but the key pickup and drop-off were easy, and we had no trouble getting in. The apartment matched the pictures and looked just as we expected.

We only ran into a few minor problems: The hot water took a while to come on, and we didn't get any hot water at night (only in the mornings). The heating system was also a little complicated, but we eventually figured it out. Finally, the walls and ceilings were pretty thin, and we were glad to have earplugs to block the neighbors' noise at night.

One wonderful thing not mentioned in the listing is that the apartment looks out onto the yard of a preschool. We loved watching the children run around and play in the mornings—they were totally adorable. And the neighborhood is lovely; it was a wonderful home base for our week in Paris.
