Michel's apartment is perfect, and he's a perfect host; I only regret that we couldn't spend more time with both. We visited Paris for 3 nights during our honeymoon and Michel was nice to meet us in the early evening. We already came with a packed schedule, but Michel had many great suggestions that made me wish we could spend a week in the neighborhood, appreciating his inside knowledge. My brother visited from his neighborhood and immediately wanted to make his own reservation.

The location in Bastille is incredibly convenient - an easy walk to the islands and 3 minutes walk to several main Metro lines. We walked a few blocks to get famous Blé Sucré pastries and eat them in the apartment kitchen overlooking a courtyard, and there is also a nearby farmers market if you're feeling healthier. No worry about safety either; your key opens two magnetic doors to the building and an impenetrable metal door to the apartment itself.

The bed is very comfortable, the interior itself is as classy as the pictures suggest, the shower has hot water, and it's quiet. All of those things, in Paris!

If we can come back, we'll either stay here or try Michel's other apartment in Montmartre. We couldn't have been happier.
