We have just had a fantastic stay at Nico’s apartment . Nico made excellent communication with us and welcomed us at 11am and let us leave our bags and gave us a key . He is charming and exceptionally helpful . The apartment is quirky but brilliant . It is actually larger than it looks in the photos . The bedroom is at the back so no street noise and large french windows which when opened kept the room cool despite it being 32 degrees outside ! The living area/ kitchen has 3 large french windows giving a lovely breeze . The electric piano , guitars and excellent hi fi system were an added bonus . My son particularly loved Nico’ s taste in music . Despite being small the kitchen area had everything you would need , including a washing machine and coffee pod machine . Not that we ate in as so many excellent restaurants nearby . The location is superb only 5 minute walk from Les Halles RER and metro , and 10 minute walk across to St Germaine area . I have stayed in Paris over 40 times and this was certainly one of my most enjoyable stays . I would not hesitate to return to Nico’ pad !
