Jean- François was communicative and quite helpful during our stay. We weren't able to meet him when we first got there but we were greeted by his friend Monique, who was exceptionally helpful and welcoming as well! The location is great since you are pretty close to the Metro (Richard Lenoir and Oberkampf) and close to the hot spots/alleys around Rue Oberkampf. The apartment was great - loft style with funky/stylish decor all around. Very clean and spacious with a great view of the Eiffel from the balcony. There was a total of 3 of us and the size was absolutely great for our stay. We met JF at the end and he was quite hospitable and welcoming as well. Would recommend!
