Met our needs
Jean-Pierre is charming and extremely responsive to communications. He accommodated an early check-in and was very patient and understanding when we were delayed at the airport when we didn't think we were going to make it on time (we did in the end). He also allowed us to store our effects while we shopped on our last day. Very kind.
The apartment is equipped with everything you need. With regret, because J-P is so lovely, the apartment is in need of a deep clean. All the common surfaces, counters, toilet etc are clean, but there is a lot of dust, some splatters and the exterior of the shower needs a goid scrub. I was able to wipe thick dust off the back of the top of the bathroom door. It is clearly also his residence when the apartment isn't rented and there are alot of personal mementos everywhere that need dusting. It also makes it unclear (and awkward) as to what can and can't be used from the pantry, fridge and cabinets. Usually "extras" are intentionally provided or left behind by previous renters. Instructions on how to use the oven would be helpful (I think it is a convection microwave, but not sure). I did manage to reheat some quiche, but I'm not sure how I did it.
The location is a bit out of the centre (but that is clear on the listing), but the price reflects that and it is a fair price for Paris. I am not sure I would have felt safe at night in the immediate area on my own (I had my adult son with me), but there are lots of restaurants and night life just a few blocks away.
Metro options are decently close and the bus is at the door so it was very easy to get around Paris.
