Nicola's flat has been one of the most charming places in which I have ever stayed. Care and heart exude from every detail, from the collected chocolate tins to the hand-crafted shelves lined with jars of herbs. We had everything we needed, and were spoiled by the ivy-and-pinwheel framed view of the street below, and in the distance, the beautiful church.

The appartement is in a lively location -- right along a road which is often lined with an open-air market, and incredibly close to the Ménilmontant metro. A Vélib station is just outside the flat, as well as grocery stores bursting from every corner (ask Nicola for the best ones).

Our one issue was with the wi-fi, which at the time that we were staying, was a little unreliable -- I would say to ask Nicola if you are looking to stream long movies, or need consistent dependable wi-fi on a regular basis. All the same, it was workable enough for us, and we had more than everything we needed :)

Finally, it was a treat at every turn to communicate with Nicola. He was always quick to reply, cordial, and charming -- and proved to be one of the most interesting people I have met in Paris.

A wonderful stay overall.
