Le Grand Jaures PARIS 8 people

Property is clean and very accessible to train station.Host Vincent is kind and helpful. If we visit Paris again, we will definitely stay here again

My husband and two teens stayed for 4 nights in the summer. The apartment is in a family friendly neighborhood about a 20-30 minute metro ride from most tourist attractions. The metro station is steps away. We had an amazing meal at local bistro, Jeanette. It was clean and worked well for us. The owner was very communicative. It is important to note the air conditioner is a unit on the first floor (very common in Europe) and all the bedrooms are on the second floor. Due to construction on the building, the scaffolding prevented much air from circulating upstairs, however each bedroom had a fan, which was helpful. Overall, it worked well for our family.

Very spatious appartment in a nice quiet neighborhood. Lots of cafes and restaurants around, the metro was right next to the appartment, about 20 mins to get to the center of the city. Only problem was that maintenance work is being done around the block and we could not open the shutters as there were workers and scaffolds all around !All in all a positive experience !

We stayed at Vincent's property during our time in Paris as part of a family European vacation - myself, my wife, and our three sons (17, 15, 11).From a location perspective, this is a great spot. Room-wise, it was good for our family - three bedrooms, a sleeper sofa, and one full bathroom.Two problems:1. There is a single AC unit on the bottom floor (not where the bedrooms are). This is to be expected for most of Europe, but in Paris in the middle of summer, that means you need to be able to open the windows in order for the bedrooms to have any breeze/coolness to sleep... which leads to...2. There is active construction on the front of the building, where two of the three bedrooms face. This was not disclosed.The first night we all go to sleep with our windows open and fans going to get the temperatures somewhat acceptable in the bedrooms. That next morning, my wife and I wake up to our 17-year-old in our room with a construction worker (who entered his room through the open wiindow!). My son is doing everything he can to manage the language barrier with this grown man who literally walked into his room and began yelling at him in French about needing to open the shutters in our room (which we had closed because the windows were open).I am thankful that my 17 year old, six foot plus son was the one who picked that room. I couldn't imagine if it had been my 11 year old, or if we had younger/female children.Don't stay here if that's your family.
