John is a wonderful host. HIs responses were quick and very informative. HIs apartment is in the heart of Le Marais, and what an apartment. It is a classic Parisian apartment, with shops, boutiques, cafes and boulangeries within a few meters of the front door. John met us on the street and helped us find his apartment. He was very kind, gave us great tips and places to go. The apartment had everything we needed, was very clean and comfortable. There were many transit options close by. The 96 bus picks up right across the street from the front door and takes you to Notre Dame (only 15 min) . The Saint Paul Metro was a 5 minute walk and that line takes you to Eiffel tower, Arc De Triomphe. Johns location is central to most of the sites in Paris. I highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Paris and I will stay here again for my next trip . Just Awesome.
