Thierry was not around when I arrived but he provided very detailed instructions for check-in. He was very patient with me and tolerated my bad french (Im super appreciative of this). The house is located within 6-8min walk from 3 metro stations (nation, reuilly diderot and faidherbe chaligny). There's many resto, bakeries and 2 supermarkets nearby. I feel safe walking home at night as there are many restos and people around (though I do walk fast). The house (kitchen/bedroom/toilet) is spacious and clean. The bed is really comfortable and I had good sleep every night. I will stay at Thierry's place again in future when I'm back in Paris. Merci beaucoup! :)
