You will be ever so pleased renting this apartment, with its expansive view from high of much of Paris. The large windows almost convince one that they are outside, rather than enclosed. The ceramic stove is easy, of a higher quality than most I have experienced, and reacts immediately to one's choosing. The general neighborhood is surounded by families raising their small children, with several schools in the area. The Metro at Jourdain runs every 3-4 minutes on a direct line to the center of the city, or to another line which covers another area very well. Fabienne is such a joy too meet and is very welcoming. She responds quickly. Her apartment is where she lives when working in Paris, so you will find just about everything you might have in your own home! I can;t say enough good things about the time spent here, even though, being late in the Fall, I. only enjoyed half of what the apartment and area offered!
