If you are looking for a place to stay in Paris in a nice area, this is the place to be. Don't judge a book by its cover. The house itself looks a little run-down, but Michael's appartment is a gem and everything is very clean. Checking in and out is as easy as it can possible be. You dont even need a key (so you cant loose it :-) ) From design to practical things it has everything you might be looking for. The shower stalls, the living room area, the beds were impeccable. The nearest Metro Station is Etienne Marcel and a mere 400 meters/4 minutes walk. Les Halles is just one block away and you have a supermarket and lots of restaurants just next to Michaels place. Does that sound like a lively neighborhood? It is, but still: the appartment is in a quiet side street and a good night's sleep is guaranteed. Michael is very quick in responding if you need anything.
I can recommend this place 100 %
