Michel’s apartment is smack in the middle of the Le Marais district of Paris. It is close to many, many restaurants, bars and bistros, and close to 3 metro lines. Traversing the city was made very easy by this. It is also within reasonable walking distance of the Louvre, Notre Dame, The Bastille, Plaza de la Republic and many more attractions. The Marais area is quaint and pretty to walk around both day and night - and relatively safe. The apartment itself was comfortable and practicable. Everything worked as is should. It would have been good to have an iron, but that does not take away from it. The only reason we gave it 4 stars was because there was a bad smell of “off” food in the fridge when we checked in. We found the culprit, and in a day the smell had gone. Michel is an attentive host. Would return if in par is again.
