Nicolas's apartment was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The neighborhood of Gambetta is fantastic and we had our favorite meals during our time in Paris around the corner from the apartment. (Small Onions is a MUST!!) The photos don't do this place justice. Truly a gem of an apartment. Very clean and comfortable. While it's a little far from the city center, we walked almost everywhere anyway. Though we'd usually take the metro back to the apartment and it was simple, convenient, and very close. I was talking to someone who stayed closer to the center of the city and I spoke about the charm of this apartment and Gambetta and he said "I'm sure you didn't pass 5 Starbucks like I did this morning"... and no, I hadn't. Just a fantastic apartment in a delightful neighborhood tucked to a side of Paris. I'd highly recommend!
