The host was wonderful, he made suggestions, walked me around the neighborhood pointed out shops, markets, and all sorts of things. Prior to my visit he was accommadating and offered to purchase Paris Passports (they help you get into museums quicker and without charge). Michel offered to make a reservation for my guest and I to have dinner at the Eiffel Tower, or to take a boat cruise down the river! He is an absolutely fantastic host, and the apartment is gorgeous! I will be back and I will stay here again!!
