Thomas' flat was fantastic! It is very much a guy's apartment with minimal, yet comfy furnishings. Bedroom had a large, comfortable bed & chair, living room had a 2 person sofa & chair, no dining table, but the kitchen had a countertop table with 2 barstools. The kitchen was great for cooking breakfast every morning, but I wouldn't use for large scale dinners. You're in Paris - eat out! There is also a washing machine & you hang your clothes on an overhead rack above the shower. The flat is his actual apartment so his personal things are there i.e. the bedroom closet was closed with all this things, but he left a clothing rack with hangers and empty shelves on the wall which was plenty of storage for us and we were in France for 12 days. Windowed bathroom had a shower with good water pressure, heated towel rack, iron, & blow dryer. The most amazing thing is the corner living room with super high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows all around. Only on the 2nd floor, you had great light and a cool view of the busy street to people watch below, but still super quiet at night. The central location in the Marais was perfect as you were just minutes to all the great shopping & restaurants in the best neighborhood. There is an elevator which we only used for our luggage and that's all it could really fit. We put our 2 suitcases in and met them downstairs. It is literally 1ft X 3ft.
Someone else had mentioned the lack of lighting (1 desk lamp above the bed shelf and 1 large floor lamp in the living room), but this was not an issue for us as we were mostly out every night and not reading in bed. It added to the chic & sexy feel of the flat. During daytime there was TONS of light!
If you're looking for a real Parisian's apartment, that is centrally located, chic & comfortable, then this flat was fantastic!
