My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Michel's apartment, the Delacroix. We felt very comfortable and appreciated how pleasant and cozy the place was. The neighborhood is quite nice, with everything you could possibly want within a short distance: markets, cafés, restaurants, crêperies, cleaners, etc. Linda was available to personally introduce us to the apartment; she explained everything adequately, especially the washer-dryer. I spoke enough French to communicate adequately, but Linda does know a lot of English. She was quite helpful throughout out 9-day stay, especially when I somehow lost our set of keys. The only drawback for us was the four flights of stairs. We managed well enough, but I wouldn't recommend this apartment to people who can't really do stairs. That was well advertised in the description so we knew what to expect. It wasn't a problem for us. This apartment is just around the corner from the Shakespeare & Co. bookstore and right across the river from Notre Dame cathedral. If you want to be right in the heart of Paris, we really do recommend this lovely place.
