The apartment is situated in a lively part of Paris with plenty of bars and restaurants close by, it couldn't be easier to find a place to taste the local cuisine. The metro is easy to use and close by which made it easy to travel around Paris with ease and see all the sites. Although we did not meet Jean Claude on our visit he provided clear communication and instructions on access to the apartment and its utilities and answered any questions we had immediately. We had a fantastic trip to Paris and will return again and definitely use Jean Claude's apartment if available.
