Jacques was a fantastic host and very responsive to messages! We were expecting the apartment to be pretty small, but it was even a little smaller than anticipated. That didn't matter though because we were only sleeping there and out adventuring the rest of the time! Speaking of that, the place is in the perfect central location - we walked basically everywhere and when we chose to take the metro or train, we would only be on it for about 10 minutes! Definitely a good value for the location. The only drawback was that is was so central, it was next to a very loud road with a lot of sirens. But when you close the windows it's not so bad.
