Highly recommended!! Andre's studio was easy to find and in a great location in Marais. Short walk to the metro and easy to find. Plus, there is a Pierre Herme right across the street for all you macaron lovers! :) We had no problems with the communication and Andre made sure I had all the vital information far in advance from our stay. Oh, did I mention his studio is on the ground floor?? No lugging suitcases up the tiny staircases in the usual Paris apartments. (One downside is that Andre's neighbor upstairs is a little noisy - he/she likes to vacuum and move furniture at 11pm-midnight) We did hit a minor snafu (we showed up 15 min early before the appointed time) and saw a note that mentioned to call as soon as we got there for Thiam to meet us. That was a little challenging for me, as I didn't have international service on my phone. No worries though, there's a hotel down the block across from the Levi's store with free wi-fi and a super sweet front desk woman. I got a hold of Andre easily and of course, Thiam showed up while I was running around looking for wi-fi. :) Thank you for a wonderful stay in Paris, Andre. We hope to be back SOON and definitely would love to stay at your studio again!
