This is an ideal base for exploring Paris. The apartment is situated in a lively area right next to the Centre Pompidou, but faces a pedestrian street so it is relatively quiet all the time. It’s beautifully decorated and the queen sized bed is very comfortable. The kitchen/dining space is small, but complete and serviceable. There’s a metro station just steps away and a well-stocked grocery store next door. Michel was the perfect host, responding to our queries right away and giving us tips on nearby places to eat and visit. He also left us drinks, snacks and a lovely bouquet of yellow roses on arrival which was a thoughtful gesture of hospitality. Michel’s beautiful apartment is highly recommended!
