Thierry was the consummate host. He was very communicative and responsive before our visit, providing us with directions to the apartment and his contact information, and coordinating our meet up upon arrival in Paris. During the course of our stay, Thierry kindly offered us visitor/tourist information such as some of the local free museums as well as restaurant recommendations. When it came time to check out, we agreed on a meet up time, and Thierry was prompt and professional.

The apartment itself was cozy, cute, and the perfect place for our needs. We were a group of three, and we all comfortably slept and spent some time in the apartment (though most of the time we were not there). There are two queen beds in two separate rooms, and the sofa in the living room pulls out into a bed as well. The apartment is located on a hip street in Le Marais which made for a fabulous location. Nearby are restaurants, bars, a supermarket, two metro stops, museums, boutiques, etc. The Seine, Notre Dame, the Louvre, etc. are all within walking distance. And if you don't feel like walking, there is a city bike rental option down the street. It's an interior-facing flat, so it's very quiet and you do not hear any street noise. Everything in the apartment is simple and functional.

In short, I would go back and stay here again, and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in staying a cozy and practical place with a very kind host.
