Michel is a warm, friendly and accommodating host. The location of his apartment is ideal for walking or taking the Metro. It is close to just about everything you would want to see as a tourist in Paris. We arrived in Paris in the middle of a yellow vest protest. Our cab driver could not make it through the blocked streets, so he just dropped us off right in the middle of the protest and pointed in the general direction of Michel's street which was a 30 minute walk with luggage through large crowds. Thankfully, Michel was available by phone throughout our adventurous journey and provided helpful guidance to his place. Though we arrived much later than expected, Michel waited for us on outside his apartment and immediately knew it was us. I can attest that Michel's apartment is in a very safe place, located quite a distance from the turmoil. The apartment is stylish, comfortable and quiet. The bed was extremely comfortable. There is a supermarket right next door and many outstanding restaurants within easy walking distance. This was our first trip to Paris from the USA. I highly recommend Michel's place.
