Jerome’s apartment is very large and well decorated. It has a new kitchen and bathroom, but still has the old Parisian charm with high ceilings, original hardware, and windows the open wide. There are two Metro stops minutes away. A market (Four Casinos) is about 4 blocks away. It is open 24/7. It is surrounded by hotels and office building. You also need to go down a Empasse (alley) to access the building. But just a few blocks away is an area of bakeries, cafes, and brasseries. If you like high end shopping, it is close by. We never met Jerome but he responded to my questions quickly and helped me solve my SIM card issue.
