I can't imagine having a better airbnb experience than I did with Thierry and his apartment in Paris. Thierry gives airbnb a good name. The experience was all that I could have asked for -- he was a completely exceptional host, so gracious, so welcoming. His efforts towards making me feel at home were incredible. He helped to make part of my trip to Paris feel more local, more real, more memorable. He met me outside the metro stop when I arrived. He laid out suggestions for place to eat, to buy bread and wine, all places very close to the apartment and many of which I visited and was glad I did. Thierry went so far as to take me on a visit to the local market and act as guide to the quality cheese and charcuterie sellers! Staying at his apartment and interacting with him were highlights of my trip. Thierry is "le meilleur hôte."

His apartment is a totally relaxing place to be, clean, with a lovely layout. There was no disappointment between viewing the pictures and entering the space for the first time. Either as a place you will just sleep because you're out in the city all the time or as a place to spend time in, it is a great space.

Unless you have an issue with climbing stairs, to the apartment itself or the loft bedroom, there is nothing to caution you about here. I would not hesitate to recommend this place or to stay there again myself, should I be so lucky. Merci Thierry!
