Jerome was in contact with us throughout our stay although he was out of town when we were there. The apartment was a very good size by Paris standards and had everything we needed. It was especially nice to have a modern kitchen and bathroom - this is not always to be expected in older buildings. The location was great: just 5 minutes walk from Strasbourg St Denis or Bonne Nouvelle metro stations. There are several good fruit and veg stores, a couple of small supermarkets, a pharmacy and most importantly a boulangerie for the morning croissants and baguettes, all within 3 or 4 minutes walk. The apartment is on the 3rd floor with no elevator, but other than the initial climb with suitcases after a hot walk from Gare du Nord, this was not a problem at all. I would recommend this apartment without hesitation.
