Convenient location where Jean's place was a few minutes from the Gare du Nord train station (approx. 20 mins).
As stated in the listing, it is very much an artist's duplex with many intricate details of the host's career and life such as guitar, dancing poster and his albums that are placed throughout the space. Had a lot of fun with my parents exploring getting to Jean's place through the footbridge to the courtyard entrance to the duplex. There was a very local feel to the experience.
Jean was very attentive and quick to respond. I had a last minute update to my reservation to include an additional person and he readily accepted the change. I did not expect him to greet us during check-in (since we were 2 hours past the estimated time of arrival) and he helped us settle and walk us through the particulars of the duplex.
