This was a two month stay in Jean's apartment and it really contributed to a great Parisian summer for me. First the apartment is as shown - modern, clean and very well appointed. I did not want to feel like I was intruding on someone else's life, and this apartment is so nicely neutral that I was able to make it feel like my own. Closet space is excellent, the kitchen is just right, and the bathroom has everything you need, including a nice strong overhead shower - often a rarity in Paris. The laundry facilities worked well and the WiFi was very fast, which was essential for me.

Second, the location is simply great. It is easy walking distance to everything, including the cafes and galleries of St. Michel and St Germain des Pres, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and all the little shops and restaurants of the Marais. You are embedded in the heart of Paris and can partake of everything you want.

Finally, I did not get to meet Jean in person, but he was available by SMS text whenever I had questions and responded promptly and professionally.

One thing to note, which has been mentioned by other reviewers, is the matter of the stairs. Going up and down everyday was very easy for me, but because of the length of my stay I had a large and heavy suitcase. I am in decent shape, but getting the large bag up at the start and down at the finish was challenging. You will have no problem with a standard carry-on rolling bag, but if you have a big suitcase and are in less than good shape, you may need help. Given how helpful he is, I suspect Jean could arrange for some assistance.
