You can't beat the price, the amenities, and the location of Joseph's apartment. Clean and well appointed, it easily accommodated our family of 2 adults and 4 children (but 6 adults would have probably not been so accommodating). Everything was in good working order. The air conditioning was much appreciated as we stayed in hot August. There are 2 Metro stations nearby, less than 5 minutes walking and a Monoprix for supplies about 5 minutes away also. Although we didn't meet Joseph, he was easily reachable at all times to answer questions. The check-in, check-out process was quite smooth. As the for prostitution issue, it really wasn't an issue at all. Sure, we saw a few, but there was never any kind of problem. We actually felt quite fine and safe even when walking back to the apartment late one night with our children, ages 14 to 6.
