Mchel was a gracious and helpful host. He met us at the door when we arrived and took time to show us the apartment and talk about local resources. It was great that he's fluent in English as we are not in French! The apartment was just as advertised -- no surprises --and was a nice sanctuary in a good location. The neighborhood is safe and close to some of the things we wanted to see/do. The apartment is not airconditioned, which we expected -- the only downside being that with windows open at night for circulation we were unavoidably included in a controlled but pretty loud party in the facing apartment til 1am one evening. But I'd return to this apartment again for a future Paris vacation and would recommend it to friends. Michel returned for our checkout after the 3 nights and even walked us to the bus connection for the next leg of our France vacation.
