Michel was a fantastic and funny host. As in previous reviews he showed us around the neighborhood so that we knew where to buy the best groceries, baguettes, where and how to use the metro, etc. This allowed us to settle in quickly. The apartment is beautiful, quiet and comfortable. It's handy to getting around all the best spots in paris. The local cafés, restaurants and bars in bastille and le Marais are excellent. The kitchen and bathroom are well stocked. For a small fee we enjoyed 2 bottles of wine that Michel had in stock.
