I would definitely recommend Jean-Yve's apartment. It is light, clean, and spacious by Paris standards and had everything we needed to make our Paris visit comfortable and enjoyable. As I was travelling with my sister, we used both the bed and sofa-bed and both were comfortable. The shower was great - good pressure and hot water. I was also impressed that the host thought to leave us a gift of wine and coffee. (It's the small considerate touches that make a difference and shows the owner cares.) The apartment is on the fourth floor (with elevator) and through a courtyard so it was quiet and safe. As it is close to a metro stop, we had no problem reaching any part of the city that we chose to go to. I also feel it is good value for the money.
