Nicolas' place is exactly as described and shown in pics and it's very spacious for 2 ppl. The interior is nicely done and the location is also very close to Gare du Nord. Since we stayed there during mid august, most of the shops are closed, but we managed to find a tasty bakery shops jus 5 mins away and there is also a supermarket jus around the corner. We did not meet Nicolas in person but he's responsive through message. Will recommend it to travellers going to Paris!
