Our trip to Paris was wonderful! Michel's apartment was a perfect home base as the area isn’t touristy, but is still extremely close to all of the sights. The Bastille neighbourhood is full of great restaurants and patisseries, all within walking distance from the apartment. There are two metro stations within walking distance as well, which makes it very easy to get around the city.

Michel was a wonderful host who met us at the apartment and proceeded to show me around the neighbourhood, pointing out the best places to eat. On our first night we chose to have dinner at one of the restaurants he recommended and it proved to be one of the best meals we had all trip.

I would recommend Michel’s apartment to anyone travelling to Paris. It is exactly as described, and after staying there you’ll wonder why you would ever stay anywhere else!
