Michel was an excellent host--very professional. There was good communication before and during the stay (and a bottle of champagne upon arrival!). The apartment really is ideally located--right in the heart of the Latin quarter but in a fairly quiet alley. There are many restaurants, bars, and grocery stores throughout the area, and the metro is just a couple blocks away. The apartment itself is quite small, and the spiral staircase to the lower room is somewhat tricky to navigate. I'm an average size person 5 ft 11 in, 155 lb (1.80 m, 70 kg), and it was a challenge for me to go up and down these stairs. Access to the lower floor is not for anyone with mobility issues or even people who might be a little larger than I am.
