Thorsten was a great host. He was responsive, professional, and offered to provide any information we had requested. Finding the apartment and checking in was a breeze. The building has two gated locks, I felt incredibly safe. For Paris, the apartment was large, plenty of room for two people. The hike up 5 flights of stairs was a challenge, and I would've appreciated more than two bath towels for an 8 day stay. Other than that, for the price and location, you can't beat Thorsten's place. I would stay again in a heartbeat.
