Michel's apartment is an excellent place to stay while in Paris. The location is extremely close to Notre Dame, Old Town and public transportation but is located on a side street so is a bit removed from the heavy tourist traffic. If you turn right out of the apartment, there are markets to buy fresh groceries and other amenities along with a pharmacy in case you forgot anything. If you head left or straight, you can easily access the rest of the city including public transportation and some great neighborhoods with delicious food, shopping and other wonderful treats. The apartment itself is great. It has AC that works perfectly if you are visiting in the summer, a kitchen with supplies in case you want to cook a meal and a wonderful porch to sit, drink a cup of coffee and take in the view. Please be aware that you can hear much of the noise coming from the cathedral square (including any performances or impromptu celebrations), but while I was there, these usually wrapped up in time for bed so they were a non-issue.
