Jean was very responsive and answered all of our questions prior to the trip. The flat is exactly the same as shown in the pictures, very nice & modern looking. Good exercise to walk up the stairs everyday :-). Could be a problem for someone trying to carry a large, heavy suit case, but for us, that wasn't an issue. Had a nice feel of how a normal Parisian lives in a flat. The location is amazing! Walk down the street, and you are right in the middle of all the Paris actions, with all the shops, restaurants, cafes, landmarks, metro....Can't ask for a better location. We have a great time, and highly recommend it!
