If you are coming to Paris for your 1st time, like we were, or your 3rd or 4th, staying at Jacques's place was fantastic. Great communication the entire time. We landed in Paris around 1:30pm local time, and he asked me to let him know when we were 30 min away, which I did. He met us there, explained the entry process to his Flat, then gave us a quick tour, explained the area, how to get around, local shopping, and answered all our questions. He greeted us with a nice bottle of wine, some baguettes, chocolate, and some fruit, which was very nice. Staying at his Flat was like staying at our own home. Very comfortable, EXCELLENT shower!! I enjoyed his coffee machine so much that I ordered one on Amazon myself. His flat has all the comforts of home, and the Wi-Fi was plenty fast and consistent. Prior to leaving, we needed to print some forms to bring to the airport, and he was kind enough to print them and bring them to us.
There are some very nice places to eat within walking distance and a great grocery store. While we did use Uber in some instances, taxi's are a 2-minute walk and are plenty and just as clean as any Uber. All the major tourist spots are very close to his flat; in fact, you can see the Eifel Tower from his balcony at night.
I could go on and on, and it would all be 100% positive! We just returned home after staying in Paris for 1 week and it was a but chilly while there, so we plan to visit again during warmer months and would absolutely stay at Jacques's place if it is available. We couldn't have asked for a better host. Jacques is awesome!
