John's place is great for those wanting to get a more local flavor of Paris and it's conveniently located to Gare du Nord for those taking the Eurostar. John was very communicative and had clear arrival instructions, which was a much-appreciated relief after a long day of travel. His apartment is cozy and had everything my partner and I were looking for (convenient metro stops and quiet in the evening). It's located right off a canal, which is nice to walk alongside and has plenty of eateries nearby. I'll certainly see if his place is available during my next trip!
