Our stay at Thomas' place was wonderful. The accommodations were just as advertised - just to highlight a few the place is extremely relaxing, the bed is super comfy, a terrific shower and there was an awesome fan (I like to sleep with a fan for the white noise). Even though the street was a fun mixture of activity, it was quiet during the nights of our visit. And the windows seemed to really block out any street noise when closed. Thomas wasn't able to meet us, but his friend Frederic was cordial and gave us the tour of the flat. We were only a couple of blocks from the Hotel de Ville metro stop, which we took everywhere (when we weren't walking - by choice, that is). All in all, a great stay in a wonderful part of town. Thanks Thomas!
