The apartment was exceptional. It is very well kept, and clean. It has all kitchen amenities that one would want even though I only used the refrigerator. It is close to public transportation for getting around Paris. There is a taxi stand across the street, the bus line was right in front and metro line available at the end of the block. There was a grocery store steps away. I purchased juice, fruit, bread, cheeses, cookies to have for light meals or breakfast. The Centre Pompidou was about 2 blocks away, thus there were many cafes, tourist shops and sandwich shops nearby. The LeMarais neighborhood is within walking distance and so is Notre Dame. Could also take a longer walk to the Louvre. Michel was a great host. There was plenty of communications prior to the trip and offered to answer any questions during the stay. Highly recommend it.
