Jean-Michel's place is situated on a cute little block in a safe neighborhood-- the location can't be beat. There are amazing restaurants, produce markets, boulangeries, bars, mini-marts, and more just steps from the front door, and the river is just a few blocks away. We walked to the Louvre in less than 10 minutes, and there is a train station just a block and a half away. The room has large windows to open on warm nights, and shades to pull in case you want to nap during the day. He does have earplugs available if you're sleeping with the windows open, as there's a bar just downstairs, but when the windows are closed the noise from the street didn't bother us at all (and I'm a very light sleeper). The bed was comfortable and there are even electrical plug converters in the room!
Jean-Michel and his roommate are fantastically hospitable. Even though it was raining when we arrived, JM gave us a short walking tour of the neighborhood, pointing out good restaurants and stops as well as places to avoid. He was always available when we had questions, and even made sure to tell us which areas of the city to avoid during protests. Every morning we had either coffee or pastries waiting for us outside of our room for breakfast! We had some great conversations, as well.
This was probably the best Airbnb experience we've ever had as guests. Don't hesitate to book this spot if it's available! It's really a gem, and I'm so grateful for the experience! Thank you, Jean-Michel!
