Zouhair is a great host and the apartment is fully equipped, clean, quiet (the balcony, which is a great plus, gives on to a quiet area with trees), in a very secure building and in a neighborhood that has everything you need right out your door. There is literally a supermarket just across the street, and there are several more within a radius of one to three blocks, along with pharmacies, banks, produce stores, cheese shops, boulangeries, butcher shops, not to mention cafes, restaurants, etc. There is a taxi stand right on Place Gambetta. The neighborhood is not fancy, and apart from the Père Lachaise there is nothing much to look at, but it's convenient (the metro is just down the street) and safe and it's the kind of place where you feel less like a tourist and more like you're part of the city. I highly recommend it.
