I needed a place to stay in Paris for a wedding and was trying to find one in away from the wedding venue as they were all booked up. I searched on this site ended up booking Michele's studio which turned out to be a great choice!

First of all, the location is great. It's off of a busy street and around the corner there is a Metro. Also, there is Paul cafe right around the corner, 3 restaurants on the ground floor where many locals hang out at after work and for brunch and many other things near by including an Apple store and great shopping. Once the rest of the wedding attendees ended up finding out the area where I was staying they all told me they were jealous of my location as they were all near the Eiffel Tour or Champs d Elysse. Overall, my stay in Michele's studio was a great experience.

Michele was very friendly and helpful answered all my questions prior to the stay. She made sure I was okay coming to Paris. Only down side was, there was probably some miscommunication. I didn't book my train ticket from Belgium until 2 days prior to arriving so didn't tell Michele what time I was going to arrive. I am not sure if that was the reason but she told me the night before my arrival at like 10pm that I could check in at 4:30 pm. I was not too happy about that. Since there was dead time, she arranged for me to leave my luggage across the street with her son. I walked around for 2 hrs and came back to meet her daughter to let me in.

There was a hairdryer which I used a couple times and in the kitchen there is hot water kettle which I used to make tea every morning. It's a perfect studio for one person. One day there was a lack of hot water for shower so I had to make it super quick. I only had two carry on luggage so managed to get up the 5th floor walk up okay but was short of breath after the 3 ½ floor. I'm in shape too. So, if you have a lot of luggage I don't recommend staying in this place the apartment is small to have a lot of things and will be tight.

It was somewhat hot the first two nights I got there, so had to keep the windows opened at night. The air didn't circulate too well with the little desk top fan but managed to sleep. Since the windows were opened at night, I can hear everything at night a lot of talking and people having fun at night drinking which didn't bother me too much since I was up and not sleeping.

Overall the stay was great. I had a good time. If I come back to Paris soon, I will definitely re-book this place again with Michele.
