We enjoyed our stay in Thierry's apartment in Paris. It is very central and, though in a touristy area of Paris, the apartment was quiet and provided a nice place to relax for a mid-day break and was quiet at night. It has nice views and a balcony big enough to sit on and enjoy a glass of wine while listening to the sounds of Paris. We are a family of four with two kids (10, 8) and the apartment was a little small for us but for the price and location, we felt it was a good value and not uncomfortably small. As noted by some reviews, it's a 5th floor walk up but that didn't bother us, it felt like nothing after all the walking around Paris. Thierry was a great host, great with communication, and everything met our expectations. We enjoyed our time in Paris and our stay in this apartment.
