This was the first visit to Paris for my wife and I with our 3 teenage children. We had a wonderful time in Paris. Jean-Francois's apartment was fantastic. The surrounding neighborhood was wonderful and full of nice restaurants. There was also a McDonald's close for the budget conscious. My son fell in love with the Crepes shops.
Notre Dame was just a 5 minute walk away and the nearest Metro station was only 3 minutes away.
Martine did a great job of checking us in and this included our flight being 4 hours late. She was also nice enough to book us a car to the airport for our departure from Paris.
My only negative comment goes to the TALL crowd. I am six foot, six inches tall. The bathroom and shower is too short for a tall person, like myself to stand all the way up in. It was fine for a few days but I might have picked a different location if I had known this up front.
Paris is awesome and Jean-Francois has an apartment in great part of town!! I forgot to mention that the apartment has a small terrace that overlooks a beautiful church and street below.
Even with the low bathroom ceiling I would stay here again.
