Thierry’s apartment is exactly like the photos show, and it’s great. My wife and I found it spacious, tidy and clean, and the bed is real comfy. The water is piping hot and the bath is not small. Plenty of space to lay down bags, and closet space to hang clothes. With the courtyard below, his patio is a great place to unwind with a champagne, cheese and wine - you can hear the birds tweeting and look for the cats sitting at the window in the building opposite. Place des Fetes metro is a 5 minute walk from the apt and links you onto the metro network. If you want to enjoy Paris like a Parisienne, this is where I’d stay.
