Fantastic! The apartment is just as it appears in the photos, extremely cute, very clean, delightfully quaint, cozy and on a very quiet street. The apartment is very tastefully decorated and has all amenities: dishwasher, washing machine, ironing board, hairdryer, dishwasher tablets, washing powder, shower gel, soap etc. even extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a salad spinner!

The location is great, centrally located, five minutes walk from Bastille metro station, only a few stops from the Musee D'Orsay, Louvre etc., fifteen minutes walk from the beautiful Place des Vosges and the Marais district. There are lovely restaurants nearby, a pretty market and even a Monoprix (like Tesco or Sainsburys). Every morning we fetched croissants fresh from the oven from the boulangerie next door for breakfast which was wonderful.

Michel himself is a wonderful landlord. He didn't just hand over the keys, he spent an hour with us recommending things to see and do, gave us an in-depth tour of the neighbourhood, even brought us to the metro station to buy our 'carnet' (a book of ten metro tickets). Michel recommended two restaurants both of which were amazing. He even made a reservation for us for the first night at L'Ebauchoir where I ordered oysters and the waitress said that they'd just arrived and nodded to the actual fisherman standing at the bar who had caught them and had just arrived with them. Fab. The second night we dined at La Gazetta, also amazing and just a stroll away.

Michel is a really, really lovely person, he genuinely wants you to have the best experience possible and he goes above and beyond the call of duty quite frankly. Charming and so helpful. We'll definitely be back!!
