Paris,flat, swimming pool,panoramic view;near Latin quarter

Our special trip with 3 girlfriends to Paris was great. We stayed for 10 nights at Michel’s apartment. It was conveniently located near the Gobelins metro station as well as bus stations. Check in and check out we’re easy. Michel sent us info ahead of time and there was no problem for us to get into the apartment with the access codes. It’s very centrally located with 3 grocery stores, wine shops, bakeries, restaurants within easy walking distance. The Apartment on 15th floor has an excellent view of the Paris skyline, Montmartre dome and of course the Eiffel Tower. Very magical to see the tower lit up at night and twinkling for some minutes on each hour. The living room is spacious w/ a large long dining table & bench seats.That was where we congregated each evening after a long touring day to have our picnic dinner & wine at the coffee table & sofa. There was a funky smell in the living room when we first got there but after opening all the doors, windows, and put out some scented papers it was fine. We left the hibiscus scented oil bottle in the bathroom closet for anyone who needs to use it. The bedroom w/ 2 single beds was tight for 2 adults & there were no place to store our clothes so we had to live out of our 2 suitcases. The bedroom w/ a full size bed was a little larger with nice view & only an antique chest of drawers whose drawers didn’t open easily to be practical. Bathroom clean & plenty of hot water. Kitchen fine. Need a mirror in bedroom for hair styling.

Wonderful location very close to shops, grocery, incredible fresh food markets, pharmacies, and public transit. Fantastic views of Paris and a convenient deck to soak it all in. The kitchen is a bit small but we cooked great meals there easily. A great place to stay while enjoying Paris!

What a wonderful place to stay! We would not hesitate to book again. Phenomenal (albeit distant) view of the city, which we thoroughly enjoyed each morning and evening. There was a city view from the kitchen, living/dining area, both bedrooms, and the balcony. It was especially an awesome experience being able to view the fly-over and fireworks on La Fête Nationale (14th July) from the balcony. Michel's apartment is close to bus, metro, cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets, boulangeries & parks. We felt really safe with the onsite security and secure gates into the property. The lifts fit several people and suitcases, & were very reliable. Check-in was easy, and Michel was very responsive to any questions we had. The furnishings were tasteful and historically interesting. Beds were comfortable, shower was great. Kitchen had everything we needed. The place was clean. Thanks so much for a fabulous stay, Michel! We hope to visit again.

The location of the apartment is great! Wonderful neighborhood, Near metro and a short walk to historic Rue Mouffetard and Monoprix on the same block. The apartment has amazing views and the communication with the owner was detailed and pleasant. The pricing of this large apartment is very good and I'm sure if it was completely updated, the owner could charge at least twice as much so that needs to be taken into consideration as renters. We enjoyed being surrounded by books, interesting art pieces that the owner has collected through the years. The basic necessity things that could be better are: supplying more than 1.5 roles of toilet paper for 4 people who are staying 6 nights, supplying one box of tissue and a role of paper towels. Supplying enough, and then drying the bath towels in a dryer rather than just hanging them to dry (they were old and actually need to be replaced - we almost bought new towels). New bed pillows are needed and probably new bedding. We bought an extra blanket because the blankets in the hallway closet were so stained we could not use them. We wanted to use the extra twin mattress but the mattress cover had a horrible stain. So overall, great location, great view, nice owner, but I don't think we could stay there again unless some basic things were updated.
