Thomas' flat in the Marais is an absolute pleasure. This is a lovely area of Paris, and we found the flat comfortable and quiet, even though it is located in a lively area of the City. The bath probably has the best shower in Paris, and the kitchen area is clever and well-appointed. We enjoyed our breakfast each morning in this light-filled flat. Large windows provide beautiful light, and ample sound-proofing from the street life below. The king-size bed is super-comfortable, with lovely linens. You'll also find ample closet space, and the washing machine worked beautifully. Also, there are plenty of plug-in sockets for laptops, mobiles and other electricals, and the lighting throughout is tasteful and effective. You'll also find excellent shopping in the streets nearby, whether looking for groceries or the latest high-end fashions. Thomas is also very responsive should any issue arise. He responded quickly to emails with questions or for recommendations. We've been to Paris on other visits and know the City well, and were very happy to have Thomas' flat as our base with a convenient Metro stop at Hotel de Ville. We also recommend visitors consider Fondation Louis Vuitton on their gallery/museum tour. And lunch at restaurant Le Gare near the Boi de Boulogne and Fondation LV should not be missed. We also enjoyed an innovative and delicious meal at Le Galopin. We look forward to our next visit to Paris and will definitely hope Thomas can put us up.
