Mike is a very good host. He helped me a lot, promptly replying to all my questions. What a patient guy! This flat location is perfect - within 15 min to walk from a metro/RER and 10 min to Louvre! You do not need to take a metro but can walk as far as to a Triumph Arch along Champs Elysees. There are groceries stores and restaurant within 5 min to walk. The room was very quiet - just amazing - in the very heart of Paris. Mike's flat was clean, quiet, convenient. There is a bakery 1 min away.
