We stayed at Thorsten's place for 10 days in Paris. We loved the location as it is very close to many metro stations and easy walking distance to bars, restaurants, the Louvre, Chatelet Les Halles and the Notre Dame. Upon arrival we realized that the washing machine was not working. Thorsten kindly provided us with money to reimburse us so that we could go to the laundry mat to wash our clothes. This was very kind of him although it did take time away from our activities since we had to go twice to the laundry mat during our stay.

We asked for another mirror in the apartment since there was only one in the bathroom. Thorsten came to install one on the inside of the closet doors. He also provided us with more bed sheets that we requested. Communication with him was very easy and he tried his best to accomodate us.

Our only major complaint, other than the unfortunate state of the washing machine, was the bathroom. When we arrived there was black mold on the walls and floor of the bathroom. We informed Thorsten of this and he provided us with very strong chemicals to clean it. We had to scrub and clean the bathroom ourselves to get rid of the mold. The bathroom did get quite humid over the duration of our stay. It is very small and the toilet is almost right under the shower so everything gets wet after showering including the floor and the toilet.

As already mentioned in other reviews, there are 5 flights of narrow winding stairs to go to the apartment. We found this to be good exercise although it was a bit difficulty to get our luggage up the stairs when first arriving.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location is absolutely fantastic and for the price that you pay it is worth the value.
