Michael’s apartment is clean, modern, and well-appointed. It is cozier than it looks in the pictures. He takes a lot of care and pride in the place and he is also extremely responsive to guests’ needs. I feel it is now rare on Airbnb to find genuine hosts who care about the Airbnb experience (as opposed to property managers hired to run a place). He and his neighbor Dana (who pitches in to help with check-in and translation) were not only friendly but extremely helpful (eg, helped carry our bags up 4 flights of stairs, helped us locate a pharmacy that was open on Sunday, etc). It’s a great base from which to explore Paris.
