Thomas was very quick to respond to any concerns I had before our arrival in Paris. Thomas's place is wonderful. The apartment is exactly as in the pictures. The bed is comfortable and the linens are clean and soft. The heater worked perfectly as it was chilly at night. We were a little concerned that there might be some noise coming from the club downstairs and came prepared with ear plugs, but the windows are double pane and even though the club was open every night till very late we never had any problem. The apt. is on the 1st floor (2nd floor for US residents) with 2 windows facing the street and great views of the neighborhood. The location was perfect, the closest metro is about a block from the apt. Walking distance to Notre Dame, the Louvre, Picasso Museum and other major sites or a short metro ride. We we were pleasantly surprised to find coffee, water, orange juice, biscuits and jam in the refrigerator which came in handy in the morning. The kitchen area is small, but has all the conveniences. The shower/vanity area is as seen in the picture with an available washer, but not dryer. Towels, a hair dryer and even a straighter is provided. My only concern was that there is no soap dish in the shower and it can be dangerous leaving the soap on the floor. The toilet which is not in the main bathroom is located to the left of the main entrance and very small, but manageable. Overall our stay was wonderful and the apartment exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate in renting or recommending Thomas' apt.
