Our Paris stay at Michel's was magnifique! The apartment sits within a charming historic building in the perfect location -walking distance to St.Germain's lively nightlife, Jardin de Luxembourg, museums, shops and restaurants. Right out your door sits some of the best bakeries, chocolatiers, cheese shops, and local merchants to immerse you in a true Parisian lifestyle each day. Our place offered everything needed for a peaceful and quiet retreat from our busy days -not a detail was overlooked. An amazing hot shower, incredibly comfortable bed with luxuriously soft linens, washer/dryer convenience-every amenity packed into a compact, yet comfortable retreat. The kitchen offers efficient access for morning coffee, quick breakfasts on the go, and afternoon snacks. A safe, iron, fan, hair dryer, washer pods, and reliable Wifi and tv/movie channels covered all the basics to keep us connected and adds to the ease of staying here. I cannot say enough about the attentiveness and care provided to us by our hosts-from restaurant and shopping recommendations, assisting with airport rides, Rita's friendly welcome and overview of the apartment upon arrival, and thoughtful small touches (wine, snack basket, coffee pods, boutique bath products). While on the 3rd floor, the stone walls and charm of this building's courtyard and curved staircase made us feel like true Parisians. This quiet residential building offers safe and secure access as you head home for a peaceful evening's sleep to prepare for the next day's adventures. Rita and Michel were amazing hosts from start to finish-taking care to offer anything needed to help with preparations, or just to check in on things during the stay. We felt right at home immediately and comforted knowing they'd be available at a moment's notice for anything unexpected. We're so grateful for these hosts who offered a truly exceptional experience. Rita and Michel truly care about making sure their guests enjoy every moment of their stay in this magical city, and we wouldn't stay with anyone else on a future trip to Paris!
