We were met by one of Thomas' friends that showed up early(which was great) and let us into the apartment and showed us a couple features before leaving us to explore. The flat was perfect for what my girlfriend and I needed and the neighborhood is wonderful full of cafes, very close to Pompidou Centre and near the metro as well. We walked most places as it is a wonderful location to get to most of Paris "must dos." We enjoyed becoming locals and exploring so many new places. The flat was only 1 floor up which was perfect after all the walking we were doing and was nice to open the windows and get a nice breeze flowing through. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place Tomas.
