The apartment is in a great location in the heart of the Marais, convenient to shops, restaurants, markets and many favorite sights in Paris. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the evenings and the apartment is very quiet. Nicola is a wonderful host. He was extremely helpful during our stay and even arranged for a doctor to come to the apartment when we needed to see one. His restaurant recommendations were great and so is his list of galleries and museums in the area. Nicolas is a great host.
