A charming classic old-style Parisien apartment - great views out the windows, wonderful books and African art, comfortable bed. A lovely ambience, an place to relax in.
Alain was a very responsive and welcoming host, as was his friend, Daouda, who met us at the apartment.
We like the neighborhood around Nation. We find the location perfect for enjoying Parisien life away from the often crowded tourist areas - yet with the Nation metro station and other metro stations nearby (plus buses), it's very easy to get to most any place in Paris.
