I really loved staying at Thierry's place. He and his partner were really warm, and they took time to get to know me and talk about French culture and travel tips. Thierry let me check in early and check out late, and he made coffee for me on the mornings I was there. I was especially grateful for this on my first day when I was really jetlagged and needed a second wind. The apartment is clean and quiet, and the neighborhood is lovely.
My only criticism is that communication and planning could be better. I didn't know other guests would be staying in the apartment at the same time as me, and I would have liked to know that upfront. Also, towards the end of my stay, Thierry and his partner went out of town on the same day that new guests checked in. I didn't know Thierry was going out of town or that new guests had checked in, and it was a little alarming to find myself alone in an apartment with strangers the next morning. I was uncomfortable with the situation, and I think a lot of people would have safety concerns in that scenario.
