Nicolas's apartment was the perfect home base for exploring Paris. Location is excellent--near the Gare du Nord for easy travel to and from the airport and in a non-touristy neighborhood full of excellent restaurants, bakeries, and charm. The apartment is even cleaner and cozier than it looks in the pictures, and I'll second all of the comments on the comfortable bed.
Nicolas was a kind, responsive, and communicative host from afar. He was traveling himself, so I did not get to meet him, but he still took the time to make sure I had everything I needed during my stay. All of the small touches around the apartment, from complimentary clementines and cookies to smartlight remotes, showed the high level of care invested in the comfort of a guest's stay. I hope to stay here again someday and will highly recommend!
