We were always hesitant about visiting Paris during the winter, but this stay completely changed our minds. Michael's place was amazing. The 2 BR 2BA was newly renovated with ocean bedrooms, super clean bathrooms, a really functional kitchen, and new heaters throughout. One BA has a bathtub, which is nice for a long winter bath. The multiple large windows from the bedroom and the living room open onto Rue Saint Martin. Although it is a popular street, the apartment is situated just a block away from any real noise. The popular Partisan Cafe on the ground floor is so convenient and always buzzing with hipsters. After a month long stay, we did not want to leave.
The check-in and check-out was very streamlined and clear. Michael was very responsive and the cleaning staff were obviously professionals. There is an elevator to this 4th floor apartment to fit the largest Tumi luggage and a person.
Without a doubt, we will be back.
