We stayed nine nights at Manu's apartment. Manu gave clear details on how to access the apartment, and what to do on checkout. The apartment was just as detailed in his description and photos. Manu checked after we arrived to make sure everything was OK, and that we didn't need anything.

The apartment is very comfortable, with a roomy lounge room, good sized dining room and bedroom, and a small but practical kitchen. Separate bathroom and toilet/laundry are good. The kitchen had a gas cooktop, fridge and microwave/convection oven. There is plenty of crockery and cutlery and all sorts of cooking implements. Very well stocked!

The location is excellent! There are lots of restaurants/cafes nearby, a small supermarket just across the street, and a delightful baker/patisserie just down the road. It is very short walk to Les Jardin des Plantes, only about ten minute walk to the river, and only a bit longer to Notre Dame, Jardin du Luxembourg, all the tourist restaurants around St Michel, and if you want to you can even walk to the Eiffel tower in under an hour. Of course, if you don't want to walk, with the metro only twenty metres away, you can get to anywhere you want to go very easily.

Some reviewers, and Manu himself mentioned the metro vent in front of the apartment block. To tell you the truth, we hardly even noticed it. On occasions when we did hear some noise, it was not obtrusive. In fact it was probably less obtrusive than the traffic noise that most places would hear, but which is non-existent at Manu's place.

All in all, Manu's apartment is a great place to stay while exploring and experiencing Paris.
