Manuel's apartment is an oasis of tranquility in the middle of busy Paris. Not only is the building on a very, very small street ("passage") but Manuel's apartment is on the back of the building and opens onto a small landscaped patio/garden. We like to sleep with the windows open and we could do that. In the middle of Paris! The apartment looks and feels like it has been built and furnished by a designer. There was lovely art everywhere and very comfortable furniture, including the bed. The location was perfect -- around the corner from the boulangerie, a chocolatier/patisserie, too many cafes and restaurants to count, and two Metro stops. The price was at the high end of AirBnb's in Paris but sometimes you just get what you pay for. We will definitely contact Manuel the next time we're going to Paris.
