I think all you need to know is that my girlfriend and I enjoyed this place so much last year that we came back this year... and that I proposed to her in this apartment. It just feels like a second home in Paris to us. Our host Michel is always so friendly and helpful; giving us recommendations for restaurants, reminders about the amazing Bastille market nearby and even walking us to the train station when we departed. Our only complaint is that there's never enough time here to see all the sites, eat at all the amazing restaurants and experience all the culture and history that Paris has to offer.
