Michel's place is great! Has everything you need, and is a very easy walk to major attractions. The Pompidou is a 5 min walk, Arts and Metiers museum is a 5 minute walk, Norte dame is just over the bridge (10 or 15 min walk) and the Latin quarter is also easily accessible. We loved walking around the neighborhood. There are two grocery stores on Michels block- perfect to pick up some water, wine and cheese! Overall great experience, I would highly recommend :)
