First of all, Thierry's place is in a fantastic location. Really well situated in a happening area that's right next to public transportation and in a very walkable area. Check in arrangements were easy enough with Josie coming to meet us to help us get settled.
His place is just about as described. His place states that he has a washing machine, which we were kind of counting on to have. The machine itself did work, however getting the door to open for us was incredibly unreliable (the latch seemed broken). When asked, Thierry stated that the door is difficult to open, and if problems continue he can look into it. We opted to not deal with the hassle and hand washed a load and dealt with the inconvenience.
A/C was functioning well, though we had to empty the tupperware bucket the A/C was sitting in every night due to the condensation. The A/C also vented outside, meaning a window was open all the time (also for venting of fresh air which was needed) though we did not experience a bug issue when we were there. Size of the apartment was suitable for my partner and I and our two 50# suitcases though we're also very comfortable with each other. I can't see how three people would fit comfortably.
The bed was a tiny couch bed it seemed, with a mattress topper on it. Not the most comfortable for me, but I made it through a week. Fridge was more than adequate for our cooking needs, along with the kitchen and supplied tools.
We did encounter a mouse during our stay however. We notified Thierry and asked if he had traps to lay out. Thierry got back to us a day later to say that it is an old building and mice do happen sometimes. He would be unable to do anything until several days later (happened to be our check out day as well), but that there was a store across the street for traps if it continued to be a problem. Okay I guess. Luckily we're not very squeamish women. After reading some of the previous reviews left, maybe some of these issues are linked? We did not notice a smell however, so it's hard to say.
All in all, not a bad place. Excellent location with all the things you've got to have to stay at a place for a bit. Could've done without the mouse, but hey at least we got to meet Ratatouille?
