We decided to stay at an Airbnb instead of a hotel this time, which gave us the flexibility of preparing our own meals and being immersed in the local culture. Michel's place is also close to the Sorbonne where our daughter is studying which is great. Michel's apartment was exactly as described so there were no surprises at all. It is on the ground floor so it is quite convenient from the perspective of moving your luggage in and out. The bedroom in the cellar is spacious but the spiral staircase can be a bit challenging to navigate which is a relatively minor issue. There were some issues with shower drainage when we were there and we discussed this with Michel who is aware and is looking into it. All in all this is a great place and I would highly recommend it. It is also very close to the Saint Michel station where the CDG RER train stops. Also make sure you check out the restaurants that Michel recommends especially Le Récamier!
