The apartment is very comfortable, has everything you need (we were able to do laundry which was a treat), and is decorated in a very hip, cool way. We loved meeting Jean-Pierre and he was very responsive and positive. Our only issue with this wonderful apartment was its location: it is a few steps down below street level, so if you like daylight and fresh air, as we do, your only option is to open the heavy drapes or small window which puts you on display from the sidewalk as people stroll past. Jean-Pierre has done some nice screening with plants and a window adhesive to mitigate this, but passersby were still able to look directly into the unit and could see us while we were relaxing on the bed in the afternoons a few times. The only option for total privacy was to close the drapes and padlock the gate and door, which was fine and made us feel very safe, but also made the apartment like a cave. We kept saying that if we could just move the whole thing up one level, it would be perfect! I hate to leave any feedback that sounds negative, because Jean-Pierre was wonderful and this apartment is very nice, but this detail about the apartment is not in the main listing - it is mentioned in some reviews but I did not read enough reviews to get to this detail - and we would not have booked it had we known.
