We loved staying at Michel's. The views from the Juliet balconies are stupendous - two facing South and two facing West! We never tired of looking at the towers all around - Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle. This is my absolute favorite part of a wonderful apartment.
The living room was spacious - great for a few people (we were three) and the main bedroom was as well. It has a French decor, so we knew we were in Paris the second we walked through the beautiful front door! The second bedroom, up a small set of stairs in the living room, was a bit stuffy but adequate. We found the main bathroom to be terrific - with a big window that opens into the back - and the kitchen was small but quite functional., with a window, too. We did not use the beautiful dining room, but it is there for you. The apartment was delightfully light, with great views and air flow, needed on hot days.
And the central location is absolutely wonderful - steps out of your front door to find the Left Bank, Le Marais, museums, shops - everything one could want for a few days in Paris. We found the best croissants, baguettes, coffee, and delicious dinners nearby. While the streets are noisy, the bedrooms are not! It is truly an oasis in Paris, and we thoroughly enjoyed coming 'home' to it each day. My daughter and I walked up the six floors while my husband took the lift. I loved the romance of living on the top floor of an historic building, and the exercise, much needed after a day of eating!
Michel is very responsive and a kind person. His concierge service is good, too, and we could not have asked for anything more. We would absolutely return to this apartment for our next trip. It is quintessential Paris - a true find. Merci Michel!
