Michel is more than an Airbnb host, we genuinely feel we made a friend in Paris. He personally greeted us, showed us how everything worked in the apartment (which is very beautifully decorated and appointed). He very cheerfully took us on a tour of the neighborhood, showing us the grand local indoor market, various restaurants and the Metro station we would use. He had many guide books and maps ready to share and made sure he answered all our questions. And this is just the beginning: he was able to make dinner reservations for us at several very memorable restaurants and personally picked up tickets for us to tour Versailles.

Finally - the most memorable day of our 3 week European vacation was when Michel took us on personal tour of the charming hillside district of Montmartre. This was the Monmartre that most visitors do not see. He showed us homes where famous residents had lived, the iconic Sacré-Couer, beautiful views, quaint neighborhoods and swanky digs too. We ended our tour at a sidewalk cafe where (naturally) he was well known and capped the day sharing a bottle of fine wine, escargot, chartucherie and the most delicious pommes frites.

Michel is the most kind and thoughtful Airbnb host we have encountered in our travels. It is no wonder he has hundreds of 5 star reviews. If we could have given 10 stars we would have! Thank you Michel for an unforgettable experience.
