The apartment is gorgeous! It was my 30th birthday on Bastille Day, so 8 of us stayed in the apartment for 4 nights. With Nicolas' great hospitality and amazing flat, it was the best birthday I've ever had! The apartment was exactly as the pictures and descriptions described - I was actually surprised that it seemed even bigger than it looks in pictures. The area is lively but not too loud and walking distance to everything we needed. We felt very safe in the building as it is inside a private courtyard. Inside everything was very clean, stocked with clean towels and shampoo/conditioner feeling like a hotel and the 8 of us slept very comfortably. The check-in process was very easy. An agent met us in front of the building right as we pulled up and walked us through how to use everything. He also provided us with an extra key so each couple had their own. The fridge was also stocked with champagne and macaroons, making our first arrival in Paris extra special! Nicolas was super responsive to all my messages and very helpful! I will recommend Nicolas' apartments to all my friends and will definitely book my next stay in Paris through him when I return! Thank you Nicolas for an amazing birthday and Bastille Day stay!
