Thierry was not in Paris at the time we stayed at his home, but he had a friend that came and helped us with our bags and gave us instructions regarding our stay. We had to go up three flights of stairs with our heavy luggage which was a bit inconvenient. Nonetheless the location was amazing as it is located in Le Marais, and it was pretty close to the metro station. The house itself is a bit small, but it had everything we needed, especially a washing machine that really came in handy.
