I spent just over a week in Jean-Claude's apartment at the start of September. For anyone who, like me, adores a panoramic view of a city, this place is for you! The view is absolutely spectacular, and there's a lovely little terrace on which to sit out and enjoy it! The apartment itself has all you need: bathroom with a powerful shower, big mirror, plenty of wardrobe space, a very comfortable bed with reading lights (virtually no noise meant I slept very well) and a small (as is the case in Paris) but very well equipped kitchen complete with kettle, toaster and fridge. There is also a washing machine and iron which came in handy. Communication in the run up and during my stay was excellent. The area is also very safe and authentic...you are not in a very touristy area and everything is very accessible (be it on foot or via a metro, the nearest station being just a few minutes away). Jean-Claude has many good recommendations, I particularly enjoyed the marché d'Aligre, the bakery on the roundabout just down from the apartment and the little sushi place on rue de Charenton, just five minutes from the apartment.
