Regardless you are a first timer in Paris or an frequent visitor, this apartment is all it's advertised for:
1. The apartment was just as pristine as the pictures Jean-Francois showed. It's newly renovated with all the convenience and comfort.
2. Centrally located in the Montorgueil area. It's hustle-and-bustle with Parisiens and tourists looking for good restaurants. This is a true Parisien experience. Just the bakeries on Rue de Montorguiel is worth a trip here...and you are in the middle of it. (Monet painted Rue de Montorguiel!)
3. It's just across from Sentier Metro station (#3 line) and a stone-throw from Chatelet-Les Halles. You can pretty much go anywhere you want from this apartment. Even Batobus river boat ride is not far (Hotel De Ville stop). It's just a short walk from Centre Pompidou...and even Musee du Louvre!
4. Jean-Francois was a wonderful host. Everything was very detailed and he's super helpful. The apartment has everything you need for your stay in Paris. Very convenient. He's perfect for us (non-French speaking tourist). He is very approachable and explaining clearly in English.
5. We tried many of his restaurant recommendations and they're truly great experience for the palette. His listed them out very nicely by categories such as traditional French cooking, Italian, Bakery, etc. If you like to try really good French cooking, don't miss Jean-Francois' recommendation of L'Escagot. For Italian food (yes, my kids insisted even we're in Paris), we tried all his recommendation...but we like Little Italy the best. It's just 1 minute walk from the apartment.
6. This is truly a home away from home (actually even better than home)!

Thanks Jean-Francois for such an unforgettable summer in Paris.
