Nicolas met us at his lovely apartment just near La Marais. His home was just like the photos - very Parisian - and conveniently located from some of the coolest areas for shopping, dining and drinking in the area.

Nicolas wrote down some recommended wine bars, and even took us for a short walk around the area to show us some of his favourite spots.

You won't find a better value-for-money stay that's this nice, or a more accommodating host.

We will 100% book this apartment again next time we're in Paris.
