Michel is a fabulous communicator. Thorough and thoughtful and generous in his helpful hints.

The location of Michel's stunning, clean, modern flat is PERFECT. Located in the artsy Latin Quarter on a quiet, cobblestone street it is literally two blocks from the Seine, Notre Dame and Shakespeare's Books and Co and a metro that takes you directly to airport or train. It is nearby numerous restaurants and bistros, boulangers, etc. and walking distance (if you're a walker) to the trendy Maris, Pompidou, and Louvre.

A market is only two blocks away and a good place to stop on your first day for any essentials you might need/want during your stay--tho the flat itself is well stocked with paper products, first aid kit and bath and cleaning products. The flat is cozy and clean with modern kitchen and bathroom and even more beautifully decorated than the pictures depict.

We opened the windows to let a breeze and the bells of the Notre Dame in and closed them to insulate the flat from minimal noise from revelers on street below during the evening. The only drawbacks (for some) I can think of are the stairs (as Michel has noted in his description). We are big walkers and climbers so we didn't mind the stairs, but if you're not in good shape this may be a challenge depending on how often you come and go. Also this flat would not be ideal for someone over 6'4" (1.92 m) as the ceilings are low (but WAY beautiful). Also, if you are a couple staying here, one person may have a challenge getting in and out of bed in the middle of the night since it's up against a wall. I was fine climbing over my husband but this might not be as easy for some others.

Overall, I would recommend Michel's flat to anyone traveling to Paris who is not a giant--lol. We will definitely stay here again and again.
