Jean-Pierre's place was absolutely perfect. More than enough room for 1 and just the right size for 2 (with a couch in case there's an impromptu house guest). The location can't be beat, five minute walk to Oberkampf station and ten minutes or less to Republique. There is so much to eat and drink nearby, and the apartment really puts you in the middle of the local culture. I would highly recommend staying here versus staying in the more touristy areas as you will get a better feel for how Parisians live day to day. All the amenities were available, including washer, espresso machine, iron, and a little FM radio for checking out the local stations (I recommend 105.1 for an eclectic mix)! Also, the full sized shower was a blessing in a city with so many tiny bathrooms. I would absolutely stay here again!
