Mikael was very welcoming. The one thing that was a little bit difficult was that we didn't realize that we had to call him to get him to bring the key. Once we did, he quickly came and showed us around. The location of the apartment is perfect. It has cafes and small grocery stores very close by. Parking ($42 a day) is practically across the street. The Louvre, and lots of the other sights are within walking distance, and one of the hop-on hop-off bus tour stops is right around the corner. Mikael had put some milk, beer, butter and other groceries in the fridge, and oils and spices etc was also in the apartment. The two bedrooms were spacious, the pull out couch slept both of our kids, and the bathroom was also a nice size. We had a great time in Paris and would stay in the apartment again if we come back.
