Nicolas has provided a quiet oasis in a busy city. The living area and bathroom are well equipped with quality items including an Nespresso machine. The step-in shower is generous in size and the hot water abundant. The towels, bed linen, and mattresses are all of a fine quality. There are so many objets d'art that I almost felt as if I was in a small art gallery. The area has many fine bars and restaurants. My only hesitation in recommending it to fellow travellers is the narrow stairs to the upper floor - the sleeping areas. There is no hand rail but please bear in mind that I am a woman in her 70s. If you are young and agile, they would not be a problem but for older people or small children, they may make you uneasy. Still this is one of the nicest and most comfortable apartments that I have rented in Paris. Thank you, Nicolas.
