The place was great! Just as advertised. Nicolas was very easy to communicate with, and he was able to accommodate our early check-in. The location might be more out of the way than some Paris visitors would prefer - you'll definitely want to take the Metro to get to most of the main tourist sites along the Seine. But we really liked the neighborhood. It's pretty quiet, especially at night, close to the canal and some very nice restaurants, and not a far walk from Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, which is a very good place to picnic.
