The neighborhood that Michel's place is located was very charming and also very central for us and the various activities we wanted to do. We were about a 25 minute walk from Chinatown and a 10 min walk down Avenue des Gobelins to arrive at Place d'italie, which allowed us to explore the neighborhood of Les Gobelins. The No. 7 metro station was just around the corner, which made it very convenient to visit other parts of the city. The bathroom was very clean and the kitchenette was perfect for our needs, which included a good size mini fridge, a microwave, and nice dishes and glassware for eating any meals we brought home. You do need to climb up one floor via a circular stair case with no elevator lift (since it is a historic site building), so just be aware if you are bringing any heavy or large luggage bags. Michel was very good about communicating with us before our stay and provided a very helpful guide of how to get to the apartment from the airport, as well as places to eat, nearby grocery stores that were < 5 min walk away, and places to visit. This was a perfect size accommodation for 2 of us, but can accommodate up to 3 in the same room. I would highly recommend this apartment for your future stay!
