Michel’s Parisian apartment is in an ideal location. We were able to walk to all the greatest sights of Paris from the small street in Bastille. We loved being in a part of town that did not feel touristy and was very easy to navigate. There is a bakery just outside where you can pickup your baguettes and your croissants. Down the street are wonderful coffee shops, falafel shops, pizza spots, French dining options etc. it was our favorite part of Paris without a doubt. Within walking distance is a cute nail salon as well where everyone speaks English. We personally loved hanging out front of the apartment during both the day and the evening to people watch (my boyfriend smokes so we had a very French excuse to be outside on the sidewalk). Michel is a wonderful compassionate and patient host and his hospitality was a highlight of our trip to Paris (we even tried to convince him to go wine tasting with us haha). Michel was kind enough to personally walk us through the neighborhood and introduced us to local shop owners who he knew— we had a wonderful lunch where we were introduced to all the locals in the room, some expats from the United States and Canada, some local French characters like DiDi GaGa. Hahah! The apartments was very clean, and we were encouraged to drop our luggage off early. I took a glorious bath and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend the location. Merci!
