Michelle was very easy to communicate with, and left a nice packet of information about local grocery stores (there's a good natural grocer just 1 1/2 blocks away!) and dining suggestions. Her apartment is in a wonderful neighborhood, within easy walking distance of Gare St. Lazare and several Metro stations. You do need to walk up four flights of spiral stair to get to the apartment, but the payoff is wonderful views from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, kitchen and the bedroom.

The apartment was very clean, tidy and uncluttered, and was tastefully furnished. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Michelle's place for anybody visiting Paris.
