Michel is a stud. He gladly walked us around his neighborhood while recommending restaurants, boulangeries, epiceries, wine caves and anything else we could think to ask for. Two metro lines are within a 3-8 minute walk from the street entrance making it very easy and cheap to get anywhere really. Shower was a little difficult to use because of head angle, but not a huge deal for us. Also if you're tall you may have a few bumps and bruises if you're not careful. But my wife and I enjoyed the loft where the bed is located, and the whole apartment is beautifully decorated. Also there is a washing machine, but no dryer.
Chez Paul, L'ebaouchoir and East Mamma were some of our favorite local eateries, and Le Baron Rouge was an incredible (and super cheap) wine cave with some delicious selections. If you're looking for warm hospitality in a charming place away from the super touristy areas and possibly a free walking tour of your perfect neighborhood (if you ask nicely) with insider knowledge ... stay here!
