From the very start Michel was helpful and welcoming.the apartment is in a great location with bus stop and Metro virtually next door with a good supermarket also very close. The apartment is very adequate and has a homely feel, probably because it is Michel's home much of the time. We initially did not manage the lighting but Michel kindly pointed out what to do. The kitchen/dining arrangements are cramped but otherwise we found it relaxing and comfortable. The shower had leaking fittings around the shower head but lots of hot water and the bathroom and lounge were more than adequate. If we are to ever return to Paris we would hope to rent this apartment again and renew our friendly connection with Michel. We had a great stay and Michel's friendly approach was icing on the cake.
