Manu was very responsive to all our questions. The apartment is in a great location, especially if you are studying at the Curie Institute that is just next door or wanting to be in the Latin Quarter. It is an easy walk from Notre Dame. The apartment has everything one needs and is high tech, especially for folks who are into video games. Although my French is fine, Manu has everything in the apartment labeled in English...excellent for Anglophones from anywhere! It is instantly accessible to the Jussieu Métro stop and a bus stop as well as several boulangeries, cafés, and bars.
We chose this apartment because Manu said there was a lot of light and this is certainly true. The first week in February was pretty gray but the place always felt cheerful. We had a nice view of Place Jussieu that will probably disappear when the leaves come out, but early in the morning I enjoyed watching Paris wake up as stores opened and deliveries were being made.
My wife felt that the apartment was a bit cluttered with some stuff left in the apartment, like toilet articles in the bathroom and some bags of things in the dining area. I didn't feel that way and I note that our house is more spare than most. On the other hand, there were kitchen staples like coffee, tea, oil and vinegar that were left for us and we contributed some things ourselves.
The apartment itself is big by Parisian standards and we had room for our stuff. The self check-in and out is very simple, especially if you have just made the Atlantic jump. So, come to Paris and stay in Manu's apartment. We will be happy to return.
