First, Michel is a very considerate host. On our first day he wandered with us through the open-air market and wine shop, helping pick out 'the basics'. He gave us a number of restaurants to consider and was extremely attentive. The neighborhood is a typical Paris neighborhood within a couple of blocks of the Metro and much to see in the Marais and area around the Bastille. By our second day we felt at home

The apartment is comfortable and warm, quaintly decorated. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Plenty of room to move about and well stocked with dishes, wine glasses and coffee. I'm 62 and the trip from the mezzanine bedroom to the bath via the stairs was a bit challenging at night. But if you're more spry it won't matter. The bed was quite comfortable and large.

All in all, great place to stay in an ideal location.
