Location is key, and Thierry's flat in the 6th is ideally situated for exploring Paris. In our happy week there, we navigated the city easily on foot or by Metro or bus. Every destination was an easy commute from the flat--and that included a few trips outside the city, as well.

The studio flat is cozy and comfortable, with a quirky decor and everything you will need for your stay. We especially appreciated the washer/dryer and the kitchenette. We gathered provisions from nearby markets and prepared several simple meals at the end of long days, as well as packed some picnics to take along on our various treks.

But we also enjoyed the lively cafe scene in the neighborhood. If you like art galleries and cafes, this flat's location will make you extra happy.

Paris was intensely hot while we were there, and the stand-alone AC unit struggled to cool the space, but we were OK. There are big, shuttered windows that allow for air circulation when the temps are in a more normal range.

Thierry was a prompt and thorough communicator prior to our arrival, and a helpful host once we got there.

We loved our time at this flat and would gladly return.
