John’s place was perfect for our short stay in Paris. It was difficult to venture out of the neighborhood because everything you want/need is at his doorstep! The five flights of stairs were a lot with luggage but necessary for working off the Parisian tourist diet of bread wine and cheese. We mostly used the flat as a place to sleep after exploring all day, but enjoyed winding down in the sitting area with the breeze coming through the open windows (beautiful sunset views of the rooftops) and connecting to the Bluetooth speaker to listen to music at the end of each day. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was excellent! Can’t say enough how much we loved the neighborhood, and enjoyed several picnics on the edge of the canal. Thanks for the wonderful neighborhood experience John!
