The apartment itself was new and the location was ideal. Quiet at night, yet close to public transit. Nicolas was a wonderful host who responded quickly to all e-mails. The only drawback was in terms of cleanliness. While the obvious things were clean, the same cannot be said about such things as dishes, pots, and the oven. All of these things looked as though a teenage boy had done the cleaning. We were forced to re-wash everything that we used. So long as the current cleaning person is dismissed, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others.
