I stayed at Jean-Pierre’s apartment for a month and absolutely loved it! It is clean, safe, welcoming, and in a great area. Having a washer, dryer, and dishwasher was very convenient, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook. The bed is a true king size and extremely comfortable (not too hard, not too soft, just right!), and the bedroom is quiet with big windows making it easy to cool the room if it got warm. There are plenty of fans too and adjustable heat if you're traveling in warmer months. The location in the 11th is perfect. It feels more local and less crowded than Le Marais, but you are just a short walk away from Le Marais, and the metro (Saint-Ambroise or Richard-Lenoir stops) gets you anywhere quickly. The elevator is charming, though I often took the stairs, which helped work off all the pain au chocolat! I stayed for a month and would absolutely rent from Jean Pierre again. He is responsive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. The weekly cleaning was also a huge bonus and extremely thorough. My favorite things about the apartment were the natural light, the comfortable couch and bed, the walk-in closet, the great shower, and the view out the front windows. I spent hours people watching. I already miss both Paris and this apartment. A few local tips: Marché Bastille (every Thu/Sun), La Boulangerie Polka, excellent coffee downstairs at Del Carmen, and dinner at Au Passage right down the street. Merci Jean Pierre!
