As a relatively young person in Paris to get some writing done, Nicolas’ room and home were absolutely ideal for me. Right at the heart of the city (literally on Boulevard de Saint-Germain), down the street from practically anything I could want, plus an extremely charming room under the eaves where I was able to find enough solitude to do a lot of writing no matter where I was feeling like working that day. Nicolas and his daughter Julie were both so incredibly welcoming and friendly; the guides they’ve assembled for visitors were absolutely wonderful, essential components of my stay.
I might not suggest this place for tall travelers, as the shower is a bit cramped (see: eaves), but otherwise, 1000% recommend this host/stay! If and when I return to the city, I hope they’re still renting it out, because I will definitely want to book again.
