I just returned from a 10 day stay, with my partner, at Jean-Michel's apartment. It's incredible how one can fit everything into an apartment that is approximately 100 square feet. Everything works. Jean-Michel was in Asia at the time of my arrival; however, he was in constant contact with me. We arrived at the apartment very early in the morning -8 am. Since we had the door code, we could get into the courtyard of the building. We met a woman who lived in the building and we were able to drop our bags inside the building. I was then able to call Jean-Michel's friend Loic who was managing the apartment while he was away. I left a message for Loic and also a text on What's App. A bit after 9am, Loic and the housekeeper showed up. He allowed us to put all of our bags in the apartment. We then went out and got some food and did some wandering of the city. This is my 13th time staying in Paris and this location was the best thus far. I rent an apartment every time I visit. I was amazed how everything just worked in such a small space. You must really love the person you're with as there is no escaping each other. The Internet works very fast, the washer/dryer is one of the best I've used (do laundry as you leave for your sightseeing as it will take a couple of hours). If there were any issues, you could text/What's App Jean-Michel or Loic and they got back to you within minutes. We were able to store 3 pieces of luggage in the storage area of the apartment, fit all of our clothes in the closet (hangers included), the bed was very comfortable, and there was space to put your laptop on the table with room leftover. If there are only 1-2 people, there is no need to rent a huge apartment in Paris. You go to Paris to see the sights and be among the people, not spend a huge amount of time in an apartment. The area is great.
We look forward to returning to Jean-Michel's apartment in the future.
