Thierry communicates very well. Response time is quick, also. The apartment is excellently located. You can walk almost everywhere. We used the Batobus, too, which was fun. A Metro stop is nearby, as well. Lots of good restaurants in the area. The Marais is THE place to stay. Thierry’s apartment is well equipped, though small, and has everything that you need. Having a washer and a separate dryer was a real bonus, since we are traveling for another week & a half. The stairs up to the apartment are winding, so do know that. But we are 75 and managed fine. The apartment is up three floors. Bring a carry-on and it won’t be a problem! We recommend Thierry’s apartment without a doubt!!!
