We absolutely loved Michel!!! And...we absolutely recommend BASTILLE as a perfect district to stay in. Especially for new Paris visitors! Michel was a wonderful and caring host, and perfect for our very first experience in France! He guided us with advice on how to get to his apartment from CDG, he suggested musee passes best for our stay, and then he took so much time to show us around his neighborhood and introduce us to owners of shops and the best places to eat.
The apartment is beautiful, and the interior courtyard delightful! There is strong security and we felt extremely safe at all times, even late at night. Location offers easy access not only to all popular sights, (both walking and via metro lines), but to TGV lines as well. We cannot say enough about both Michel and his apartment! Just book it!!!
