Has anyone rented an apartment from Thierry at www.ParisBestLodge.com? If so, did you have a good experience? Would you rent from him again? Any information you can provide will be appreciated. I will be spending a week in Paris in April 2009 with my 13 year old granddaughter and want her to have a %26quot;real Paris%26quot; experience. If you have any suggestions for great places to stay, including the best district to stay, for entertaining a 13-year old girl, those would be appreciated as well. Thank you!

We rented the Place des Voges apartment from Thierry in May for 2 weeks. We were very happy with both the apartment and with Thierry%26#39;s services. He is very good at replying to e-mails promply and there is no big outlay for a security deposit ~ all you have to do is send him a cheque in your currency which he hands back to you at the end of your stay as long as everything is in order. You can read more about the apartment on my blog www.slowtrav.com/blog/joden
We have rented from him again this coming May, the Napoleon apartment this time. We can%26#39;t wait to be back in Paris. Both apartments are in the Marais, we really love this area, there are loads of little streets with shops, restaurants, bakeries, markets, etc. It is also very convenient to lots of public transportation and you can walk to many of the most popular tourist attractions.
Be sure to take your granddaughter to Angelinas on rue Rivoli across from the Louvre for the most decadent hot chocolate you will every taste. I%26#39;m sure she would love it!
Have a wonderful trip, we can%26#39;t wait to take our grandson to Paris when he is a little older (he%26#39;s 5 now).

I second jo dens opinion . My wife and i rented the studio rivoli from Thierry and have nothing but good things to say about the way Thierry does business we are renting it again for the month of may . The Marais area is a great spot to live nice combination of old/new paris with lots of shopping also walking distance to all the tourist sites and outdoor markets you%26quot;ll love it

We rented La Coupole from parisbestlodge last May and couldn%26#39;t be happier with it. Vicky, who owns this particular apartment, is incredibly friendly. She even invited us for tea at her apartment a few blocks away on our last day and spent several hours with us when we arrived telling us places to visit with our daughter. La Coupole is located near Luxembourg Gardens so was a great choice for us -- our daughter was 6 at the time and there are loads of activities for kids in the garden (pony rides, puppet theatre). The apartment is also very close to shops (cheese and wine right outside the door), a supermarket and an outdoor market twice a week. We never met Thierry but our communications with him via email were fantastic. He was very prompt and helpful. We would absolutely go with them again.

Hi have already make my reservation with Thierry for April 2009. After read posting her in TA I%26#39;m very confident and after few e-mail with Thierry I%26#39;m sure we are in good hands! He is very nice and easy going guy. I will be with my 15 years old daughter and already plan to have an Ice cream at Berthillon on Ile St-Louis (The best glaces in town)!!
Have a nice trip.

Thanks everyone for your responses. NYADDICT: My 13 year old granddaughter and I will be heading to Berthillon for ice cream in April too! Have a wonderful trip!

Just seconding what the others have said. We%26#39;ve rented twice from Thierry and he is really helpful and friendly.
The apartments were both clean and well equipped with free computers and internet access, washer/dryer, small supply of coffee, sugar, oil, herbs, etc. The photos on the web site are accurate.
We stayed in the St Germain area and the Marais, and really liked both areas for their closeness to the river and sites, lots of food shops, bakeries, etc plus interesting small shops.
We%26#39;ll definitely use Parisbestlodge next time we visit.
