Jean-Claude's place was clean, cozy, and comfortable! While Jean-Claude wasn't around, he made sure to set up communications between me and one of his friends who was living nearby so that if I ever needed something I only needed to ask! I would certainly recommend this apartment, especially if you have a long stay in Paris and want to feel like you truly live there! Even the 5 floor (American 6 floor) walk-up wasn't too bad, and Jean-Claude's friends helped me with all of my luggage so it was a breeze. Thanks so much!
