Nicolas could not be surpassed as a host. He is a kind, worldly, and amiable man with a willingness to help with any question of Paris. He provided the use of a bike pass, incite into the fascinating history of the area including a personal walking tour of the neighborhood replete with an overview of its changes through the centuries and recent decades. He assisted me in booking my onward train ticket to Lyon and provided a bus ticket to the station. The room is as described but also contained travel literature to assist in considering what to do. I feel we parted more as friends then as a host/guest relationship. In short, any guest would be fortunate to book with Nicolas and I would be honored to be his host in my home if ever he returns to New York City.
