First, I would like to mention that Jean-Baptiste is the most kind-hearted and honest person in whole France!
It was so nice that Jean-Baptist met us on the station when we arrived. In addition he used to leave us some food for breakfast like cereals, milk, water, juice and toasts. And we were so pleased to find a few croissants left for us specially on our second morning in Paris.
I'd recommend staying at Jean-Baptiste's apartment as it's quite well-located: there are 3 supermarkets nearby - Casino Hyper, Carrefour and Dia, being open every day except Sunday. The apartment greatly benefits among others as it has an underground station up the street - Chevaleret. It takes about 15 min to get to the downtown. There are some cafes and restaurants just around the corner. On the nearby square - Place d'Italie, which is 10 min walk up the street, there is a McDonald's & KFC if you are not ready to spend a lot on food. The nearby area is quiet enough. The only problem is that the house doesn't have an elevator but Jean-Baptist was so nice that he helped us to carry our luggage upstairs. The room we stayed at was exactly the same as the picture reflects - clean, light & spacious enough for two people. The kitchen is quite small but well-equipped to cook whatever you prefer. So if you want to have an unforgettable experience in Paris you'd rather choose Jean-Baptist's apartment to stay!

PS: It was a great pleasure to stay with you in your lovely apartment in Paris for those 4 days!
We have never had such an experience before and you were not only kind and pleasant host, you were extremely honest and compassionate one as well! We'll never forget how you managed to solve the problem we had on the first day of our stay!
Your apartment has become our home for a couple of days so we felt pretty comfortable as you were so open-minded and ready to help with whatever!
Thank you so much for the time and patience!
Be sure, in case of coming to Kiev, never hesitate to contact and meet us there!
