The apartment is in a great location and John is a wonderful host. A great communicator who was very obliging in allowing us to leave our luggage in the apartment after check-out because our train left mid afternoon. We love staying in this non-touristy part of Paris where we get to experience real Parisien life. The apartment has most facilities you need for a short stay. The absence of a washing machine and very small bathroom are the only downsides for a family of 4 or those looking to stay for more than a couple of days.
