Jean-Paul was a wonderful host. The apartment was very spacious and clean with a very open, modern design. The windows open into a private courtyard off the main street. Lots of plants, lots of light. The apartment is easy walking distance to several train stations (in particular Gare du Nord) making it very easy to get around. Jean-Paul gave lots of suggestions for local food options - we had 3 delicious and very different meals all from the same block as the apartment, including a makeshift meal we cooked from ingredients purchased from the supermarket just across the street.
