I based my decision to choose Michel based on the reviews. They were accurate. Michel is very helpful leading up to our stay. He waited for us outside. He gave us tips about where to visit. He was professional, no drama, and cared a lot about our stay. Didn't see him at all after the first day, which was fine too. The location is fantastic because there's a Metro stop on the corner of the block, plus a Velib station if you're into biking. A block away from the Pompidou, which is encircled by a lot of cafes and patisseries. We loved our stay. Neighbors extremely polite, just say "Bonjour" and they'll nod and respond to you with a smile. Be respectful, tread quietly, and you'll have a wonderful experience. Only draw back was the construction going on during the daytime, which made siesta time difficult.
