Thierry's apartment is in a great location for travelers. It is right near the Gare de Lyon and the metro, which can bring you to the other side of the city without the hassle of traffic. The room was much darker than pictured, with a massive poster of Steve McQueen's face on it and many statues/masks on the shelves, but everything else was as I imagined! Thierry was very accommodating of my late arrival and early departure the next day, and very welcoming of me into his home!
