Very comfortable apartment super close to a metro stop. The beds were great, the decor was "funky" (in a good way), and Mika was very helpful, even coming back to the apartment after we checked in to get out a clothes iron for us.

Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Mika in person due to a delay in our arrival (baggage claim at CDG!) and him being stuck in a meeting when we checked out, but he left good directions on how to get into the apartment and everything went very smoothly.

The kitchen was well-stocked for meal prep (though we only made breakfast at the house--too many good restaurants), and the washing machine helped us to pack a little lighter (good thing because lugging heavy suitcases up to the sixth floor would not be fun).

There were a few good restaurants nearby, and Mika left a nice set of notes of places to try. Unfortunately, his favorite restaurant in the area was closed because the owner was on holiday, so we didn't get to check that out.

The only negative of the trip was that my wife slipped on the very last step going out one evening and sprained her ankle. This is, of course, in no way Mika's fault, but I thought I'd mention it here for others to be vigilant. It's a stone step, and not as deep as the wooden stairs that make up the rest of the staircase, so pay attention! :-)
