Nicola was an exceptional host. He went above and beyond at our recent stay, even helping us make reservations at some exclusive restaurants in Paris that we would not have been able to enjoy otherwise. He gave us great recommendations, made us feel extremely comfortable, and took the time to meet us and explain many of the interesting pieces of artwork throughout the apartment (which were all extremely impressive). The location is great, situated in the heart of the bustling Le Marais neighborhood (4th arrondissement), and walking distance to many cafes and brasseries. It is also a great central location to get to many of the best tourist attractions in Paris (walking distance to Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, the Louvre, and of course the Seine River for boat tours). While Le Marais can be a loud and lively neighborhood, Nicola's apartment is nestled on a quiet side street on the 5th floor, so it is very quiet and comfortable for sleeping. Highly recommend staying here!
