Overall, this is a wonderful apartment. Very bright and airy; clean; spacious; wonderful decor; remarkable wrap-around balcony (which unfortunately I wasn't able to make use of because of wintery weather over the three weeks I stayed here). It is located a short walk from one of the more vibrant market streets/neighborhoods in the Montparnasse area. However, there are a few minor issues people thinking about staying here should keep in mind: (1) Both locks on the front door are finicky and one can end up standing there playing with the key for few minutes not knowing whether one will get in. I have alerted Jean Jacques and I expect that he will get the locks fixed. (2) The wifi has very low bandwidth and keeps cutting out regularly; using facetime video was impossible. This was definitely an issue for me since I was in Paris on business. But again, I would think that this is an easy fix. (3) The heater in the bedroom is very difficult to turn down and the room got very hot at night. This is really only a concern for winter stays and again, a relatively easy to address issue. (4) Although there is a sofabed in the living room that can accommodate up to two additional people, the only bathroom in the apartment can only be accessed via the bedroom, which is very inconvenient. Fortunately, the toilet is a separate unit and much more easily accessed by everyone. Ultimately, this is really an apartment for couples. Fortunately, I was mostly alone and the other minor inconveniences were more than compensated for by the beautiful furnishings, lots and lots of light - even on cloudy grey Paris winter days.
