My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 11 day stay in Thorston's cozy flat. Although we didn't meet him personally, he was very clear with check-in details and responded very quickly to any questions we had.
The location is incredible! Rue Montogueil is right around the corner: a true Parisian pedestrian-friendly street full of anything you could possibly want or need. "Paul's" was our favorite bakery for fresh croissants each morning. We would usually eat our main meal midday while we were out and about, and then pick up groceries, fresh fruit/veg, cheeses, baguettes locally on the way home in evening. Even though the neighborhood is an authentic bustling place, the flat itself was quiet and we slept well in the comfortable queen-sized bed (especially for my 6'4" husband!) Having the washing machine and heated drying rack made things even easier.
It is very close to Metro/RER train lines at Les Halles, and really only about a 15 minute walk to The Louvre. Incredible! It is exactly the way we wanted to experience Paris-including the 5 flights of stairs up the spiraling staircase! That just added to the charm and authenticity of the place, and let us enjoy more croissants!
Thank you, Thorston, for mking this charming place available. It made our Paris-immersion experience exactly what we wanted!
