Thomas’ apartment was great for our 7day stay in Paris. The pictures are a true representation of his digs. The space is perfect for two people, and a lot bigger than you’d get at any hotel for a fraction of the cost! His friend, Helene, greets you and provides you with all the essentials (tour, internet/phone instructions, codes, restaurant suggestions, etc.). No guessing how things work. Very helpful!

The neighborhood of Le Marais was PERFECT for us. Centrally located, near a lot of attractions (shopping, museums, cafes, restaurants), close to the Hotel de Ville subway stop (which connects to basically ANY of your transfer needs!), and is very safe and walkable. As mentioned in other reviews, there is a bar DIRECTLY below your windows which is often quite loud and packed with drinkers on the sidewalk. If you had the windows open in the summer, it may be a problem, but later at night it quiets down. We didn’t have an issue with the noise. Who goes to bed early while on vacation anyway?! P.S. if you’re a gay man you’ll love the area.

Thomas was always in communication with us when questions arose, and he was accommodating with our late check out time. He’s a great host, and I’d recommend him and his apartment to anyone looking for a hotel alternative in Paris.

Merci, Thomas!
