Pascal was a great host, even though we never met him! He arranged for a friend to show us the apartment, and gave excellent directions. Leaving the apartment was just as straightforward, and we were able to safely stow our bags on leaving day. The apartment is a spacious studio with a fantastic open views from the balcony. It's quiet, apart from the primary school behind the block, as are the neighbours with whom the apartment shares an entrance lobby - no security or privacy issues to worry about however.
Jourdain metro is very accessible - 5-6 mins walk away - and there are plenty of boulangeries, patisseries, pasta shops, bars, restaurants and a church! The Bar Lescot was a particular refuge for us, as it sadly rained for most of our trip!
