My stay at Nicolas' place is a mixed review. While I didn't get to meet Nicolas personally, he was very friendly and communicated very effectively before and during our stay. He was out of town but coordinated with his father to meet us and was helpful when our flight had some unexpected delays. Two thumbs up on both of these elements.
In terms of the physical space, I had really high hopes given the great pictures and Nicolas status as a Superhost. While the furniture was nice and the apartment was comfortable for 3 of us, we did run into a few issues that I would want to know before a future stay. First, there was persistent odor of natural gas in the kitchen; may be a result of a small leak in the water heater or stove. Second, the A/C units in both bedrooms can be noisy and occasionally drip water. Third, the water in the shower pulses back and forth between hot and cold; was difficult to get a consistent temperature for showers. Lastly, there is only 1 set of keys for the apartment. A digital lock or keypad would have been much preferred to coordinate arrival and simplify check-in process. If not permissible at this building, a second set of keys for guests would have been very helpful and allowed some of our group to return earlier than others at night.
Overall, I really like Nicolas and his interactions with us. While our experience didn't live up to what we had hoped, I'm optimistic Nicolas will address these items for future guests to make an even better experience.
