It is a wonderful apartment and Jean-Paul is an excellent host. Everything is just like the photos, only better in that it is hard to explain how great the neighborhood is. Another plus, which many visitors to Paris miss, is how important the Metro stop is. Vavin is a great stop that goes directly or connects easily to anywhere you want to go in Paris. Two nearby bakeries, a great butcher, wine shop, and fresh produce shop are all within two blocks. Timbre restaurant is two blocks away and should not be missed . The organic market on Raspail is nearby and is a Sunday morning must!!
