Communication with Julien was precise and instantaneous. (We found out that he runs two stores right next to the apartment so he is available VERY long hours that overlap with the East Coast of the US. Texts were responded to immediately. The apartment is large enough for 3 (a couple and our 15 year old son) and conveniently located next to two metro lines, each a block away. The appt. has WiFi, a TV and the beds are very comfortable. As a "base" in Paris is it very well located. This is particularly functional since it is somewhat away from the tourist beaten path, and therefor the regional brasseries were frequented by locals and the food, great and genuine. The only ting that needs to be pointed out is that the appt. is a 4-th floor walk-up (no elevator). To us this was not an issue, but if you have a lot of heavy luggage it may be. Overall, fairly minor beef. In all, location_facility+host a very recommended combination.
