Manuel's apartment is fantastic! It is larger than it appears in the photos, and is thoughtfully decorated. Manuel was easy to communicate with, and had detailed instructions for our arrival. The location is very good, within 2 blocks of a metro station, and close to many restaurants, cafes, bars, etc. There is a spacious kitchen, with all the amenities you would need, if you wanted to prepare food at the apartment. The bathroom is large and clean, with a shower, tub, washer/dryer, and vanity sink. Also, the apartment is situated on a quiet street, so you do not hear any noise at night.
We stayed four nights at Manuel's apartment, and thought it was ideal for a travelling couple exploring the city. I would highly recommend it as an alternative to the standard hotel rooms or city apartments normally found in Paris.
