Me and my sister stayed at Nelly's flat over the weekend and we had a great experience. I was a little bit worried after reading the negative reviews but let me assure you there is nothing wrong with this place. The staircase does smell a bit funny due to old carpets but flat itself does not. Yes, there are no blackout curtains but it didn't bother us in the slightest and we still managed to have a very good nights sleep. The noises from street was not an issue either, we only heard one group walking by Friday night. It is not located on a busy street so it isn't that noisy. The flat is very compact (or very Parisian), we felt safe, the bed was very comfortable. Clean towels and extra bedding provided. Overall we had a very good experience in Nelly's apartment and had fantastic few days in Paris! Thank you for hosting!
