My daughter and I highly recommend Michel's appartment which is in a central, safe location,( very close to Bastille and Ledru-Rollin Metros), a perfect base for sightseeing in Paris .
Michel made us feel very welcome. He gave us a short tour of the area, showing us where the local market, supermarkets, bakeries , and restaurants were. He also gave us useful and sensible advice regarding the museum pass, metro (even helping us buy our first tickets]. These small touches helped us make the most of our stay.
Michel then showed us the appartment, the coffee machine and the fridge which has orange juice, milk, etc. As there are several bakeries on the street we were spoilt for choice for breakfast! The appartment is superb, in immaculate condition, spotlessly clean, full of character, with wooden beams, and furnished with a unique blend of contemporary, retro and antique furniture as well as unique objects that Michel has collected .After a very long day of walking the city, it was a welcome relief to return to the warm, cozy appartment. It felt like "a home from home"

Michel provides the perfect balance of being friendly and helpfull as well as giving privacy. It was reassuring to know that during our stay we could have contacted him had we needed to. (thankfully we didn't need to!)

I would recommend Michel's Bastille appartment to my family and friends without hesitation. Thank you Michel for helping to make our visit to Paris so enjoyable!
