What a perfect November week in the Marais at Thierry's 3rd floor apartment. There are dozens of cafes, bars, boulangeries, chocolatiers, and the world's best shopping nearby - whether you like the small artisan shops or the grand BHV, it's all literally right outside the windows. Very close to metro, bus stops, and the Seine, the whole city is at your feet. The neighborhood is vibrant, and the apartment is up high enough that the activity downstairs doesn't interfere with the peace and quiet inside. Interior décor is charming and tasteful. You can open the brocade curtains and let the sunlight stream in through the lovely sheers, or close them for complete privacy. There's a washer, dryer and dishwasher which would be especially great for a long stay. Thierry checked in with essential info - favorite grocery, favorite bakery, list of easy, low-cost activities and favorite restaurants around Paris, and answered questions very quickly. Definitely would stay here again
