Jean-Christophe was a most gracious host. He was always available to answer any questions, even prior to our arrival. I felt very comfortable communicating with him about the particulars of the neighborhood, and the firmness of the mattresses as I have a bad back. The apartment is exactly as represented--beautiful, original and comfortable. The mattress is firm and perfect for people with back issues. The neighborhood is very central with shops and cafes all round, and the metro Duplex steps away. We will definitely be back!
