I might have been the first guest staying at Jean-Pierre's lovely arty apartment, but the welcome and attention to detail was superb.
It was Jean-Pierre's son who welcomed me to the ground floor flat and the photos represent it very well. If you're looking for a super modern place, this probably isn't it, but if you want an apartment decorated with loads of style, lots of wonderful old lamps and items collected from France and around the world, oozing charm and retro style, this is the place.
The transparent roof covers a large area with a few couches making aperitif with friends great, the kitchen is small, but has lots of utensils you might need to knock up some food. The inside courtyard brings in lots of natural light and is wonderfully quiet at night ensuring a quality sleep on the comfortable bed up on the mezzanine.
The only thing to be aware of are the steps to the bed and the small drop on the raised floor leading to the wet room shower meaning children need to be supervised.
Finally, a big thanks to J-p's attention to detail, his warm welcoming son and lovely wife who I met for check-out. Communication was great, and I'd have no hesitation in recommending his flat for a break in Paris.
