Jad's place is a wonderful part of the Paris experience. The pull out bed is very comfortable, and the apartment has all the amenities one could want. He has every manner of cookware, and spices and collection of pastas (maybe left over from previous guests?) In any case I enjoyed cooking for myself and eating out on his lovely patio that overlooks the street. The apartment is very clean and relatively quiet, considering it is close to an active nightlife from the next street. Speaking of location, it is a good central place to be. Lots of cafes and bistros nearby, close to the metro. And walking distance to many of the city's attractions. Highly recommended!
