Thomas's apartment is an excellent place to stay. It is a thoughtfully designed space in a nice building in a wonderful neighborhood. Everything worked perfectly and the Internet connection is excellent. The apartment is also filled with many interesting books dealing with art and architecture. The nearby streets are filled with charming cafes and restaurants, a number of supermarkets and bakeries, and public transportation couldn't be easier. Gare du Nord and many sites such le Marais and popular museums are well within walking distance, should you choose to see Paris by foot. Communication with Thomas was excellent and his information about area was educational and helpful.
