Michel was a wonderful host - he was very communicative both before and during my stay at this apartment. Beyond that, the apartment and location are wonderful. The two nearest Metro stations (Jacques Bonsergent and République) will easily connect you to all of Paris, and there are many restaurants, bars, bakeries, and grocery stores within minutes. The apartment gets great light and even though Paris is hot in July, being on the 4th floor meant a nice cool breeze when the windows were open. I had a great stay!
