Thierry's apartment is all-around superb. The location is very convenient - with the Arts et Metiers station steps away, you can get anywhere you want quickly. If you do not want to walk - but the walks to important sites are easy and worthwhile as well. I searched for an apartment that had both a real kitchen and a real bed - hard to find it seems in Paris. Thierry's has both. I stayed in December, when it was cold, and the apartment is well-heated. It is also very quiet here - no immediate pubs or clubs within earshot, so a restful escape from city activity. This was my first trip to Paris and I was not exactly sure if I had chosen well, but it turns out both the location and the apartment itself were parfait.
