Michel is a wonderful genial host. He was very friendly and welcoming. He showed us around the nearby streets and made recommendations on markets, the best bakery, the best shop for wine, etc and all of his recommendations were spot on.

His house has lots of food shops, an organic produce shop, restaurant and bar options, and metro transport within 2-5 minutes walk in both directions. There is a bakery and cafe immediately below. There are several fabulous fresh food markets nearby.

Michel also made general tourist recommendations for Paris (best falafel, antique markets, getting around easily etc) and left us maps to use.

His house was delightful and as pictured. We cooked a lot and had everything that we needed. The bathroom was nice. The washing machine worked well. The house was spotlessly clean. We did hear the neighbours above (which someone else mentioned) but not much and not at night, so it was a very quiet place to sleep and relax.

Michel was also very calm and helpful when we had last minute transport delays when it was time to leave. A thoroughly delightful man and the perfect place to stay. 5 stars.
