Michel's place in St. Germain des Prés was amazing!! Chic, comfortable, and perfectly located. He and Rita were always in communication, helped me with a somewhat complicated check-in, and made sure I had everything I needed to have a lovely and comfortable stay. As a petite woman traveling alone, I felt safe and secure at all times. The courtyard placement of the rooms made it a quiet retreat from the hustle-bustle of Paris, which helped me recharge when needed. It also made me smile every time I went through the front doors into that beautiful interior courtyard - So "Classic Paris!" The Beaupassage, Monoprix, and Nicholas (liquor store - had n/a beer for me too!) directly across the street - along with the lovely little fruit/veggie shop right next door - made provision shopping super easy. Histoires Francaises, a super-chic little gift shop is also next door (on the other side), so shopping for the perfect treasures to take home is made easy as well. I should note that the interior stairs would not work for those with any mobility issues, but they are beautiful and worked OK for me. Overall, I highly recommend a stay at this truly bohemian chic Parisian apartment!
