Joseph's place was perfect for my wife and I. It is located on the third floor in an alley way off one of the streets in downtown. It is a very tight squeeze getting up the tiny spiral staircase so be mindful if you are handicapped or have large luggage. The apartment is located less than a mile from Notre Dame and many other popular destinations, and is close to all forms of public transportation. *Note* It is very noisy at night in Paris and early in the morning and there is no fan in the room to block out noise!
Inside the apartment Joseph had everything we needed; iron/ ironing board, hair blow dryer, TV, plates and silverware, microwave, etc. If you are from the US remember to bring a converter for the outlets to plug in your phones, etc.
As a host, Joseph was always quick to respond and was very helpful; despite the language barrier that existed due to the fact that I speak very limited French. Joseph is incredibly friendly and very reliable as a host. He even was kind enough to greet us when we arrived to give us keys and show us into the apartment.
We would definitely stay again and highly recommend Joseph and his home. Thank you again Joseph!
