What a fantastic studio Thomas has in Paris. We arrived at 6 and were promptly greeted by Richard, who did a wonderful job of showing us around the place and answering all our questions. A warm, special thank you to Richard. I want to mention that the street and bars outside were very busy and noisy when we arrived, yet when we entered the studio it was almost soundproof quiet. The weather was good and there was a lot of activity all week yet we did not hear the noise. The place was very very clean and well kept. The size of the place is described very accurately, but we felt it really is a little larger than in the pictures. We stayed a week and were very comfortable. To give an overview, the bed was very comfortable and spacious, storage facilities for clothes was great, the kitchenette was fully furnished and we took advantage of the refrigerator, stove, and microwave. Plenty of utensils. A table for eating and a couch for relaxing. The shower facilities were excellent, including towel warmer and hair dryer. Bathroom facilities were adequate but hey, I'm 6'2" and yes it was a little compact for me. I have to mention the lighting system., with an abundance of lights and moods. We were able to take advantage of necessary heating which kept the studio very comfortable. The location of the place could not be better. My wife and I would be considered older travelers but we found the area filled with friendly, wonderful people. Thomas's flat is right at the bullseye of Le Marais, the best location for shopping and restaurants. Overall, the value of Thomas's place is excellent. Prior to this, we stayed a week in Barcelona at a top ten ranked hotel and I consider Thomas's studio as good a value as the hotel. I cannot recommend Thomas's place any higher. Our personal thanks to Thomas for making our trip to Paris very special.
