My mother and I spent five weeks during the months of July and August at Jean-Paul's apartment in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. To begin with, the apartment is centrally located and there is a Paris Métro stop less than 5 minutes away by foot - it's very convenient when it comes to accessing everything Paris has to offer. There are many cafés, restaurants, and shops located near-by, as well as a laundromat, which is very helpful if you plan on spending a long séjour in the city. The apartment itself is very welcoming and tastefully decorated, with a renovated bathroom and well-equipped kitchen. The balcony was a dream! Each evening we found ourselves outside having a drink, reading, relaxing, or chatting after a long day of exploring Paris. This was the first time that my mother and I had visited Paris and Jean-Paul's apartment made it the vacation of our dreams! Bon voyage!
