Jacques' place is a lovely Parisian apartment: high ceilings, huge windows wrapping around the living room. Great location a few minutes walk from several metro stations and surrounded by cafes and restaurants and cinemas. Only 2-3 stops from the St Michel/Notre Dame district. The apartment is on the 2nd story but there is a tiny elevator which is perfect for transporting heavy luggage. The bed was very comfortable, and the convertible couch worked great for kids. Jacques was a nice host: very quick to respond to questions and met us on arrival to show us around the apartment. The WiFi connection was fairly slow (about 1 mbps) while we were there, and somewhat intermittent, but it was plenty fast/available enough for our purposes. We stayed there during a record heatwave: there's no A/C (naturally) but we able to keep the apartment reasonably cool by keeping the windows, shutters and curtains closed during the day and throwing several of the windows wide open during the night. Very nice experience, would stay there again.
