Jean-Francois is an awesome host. It was my first trip in Paris, but he responded to every email and gave careful instructions on how to go about different things - transportation to getting a temporary cellphone in France. His place is very cute, well and cleanly maintained and located centrally in Paris. It is equipped with everything I needed during the trip from cookeries to umbrellas. The location also is superb. I walked to many historical sites everyday, and the market area around the apartment is a vibrant community where you can interact with kind and fun locals. I thoroughly enjoyed the stay at his place!!!
