Maikel’s place is located above a lively cafe, right next to the St Michel metro stop, and at a busy, touristy corner with lots of trinket shops and foot traffic. It’s very central and an easy walk to all the major attractions; however, there is no view of the Notre Dame from the apartment (only if you lean out the window and look around the corner).
The 3 bedrooms are well-sized and was comfortable for 3 couples. However, there are only 2 showers and 1 toilet. This is common in Paris, but the listing was a bit misleading because we thought 3 bathrooms meant a shower + toilet for each of the bedrooms. Very inconvenient for 6 people to share 1 toilet.
The kitchen is large and well-equipped for cooking for the 4 days we were there. The living area is large and the dining table is amble for 6 people.
As mentioned by other reviewers, the narrow and steep staircase leading up to the apartment is annoying and hard to navigate if you are a larger person or not in good shape.
Overall, we would not stay here again. Even though the location is very convenient, it’s a busy and somewhat seedy area. The apartment itself was overpriced and the shower/toilet situation was far from ideal.
