I had a fantastic stay in Nicolas' apartment. It has been entirely renovated; well equipped, designed for space and comfort. Loved it. It is a great place to come back to and chill. I slept very well on a quality mattress; the flat is very quiet thanks to new double-glazed windows, even though it is on the Boulevard. The area is true multicultural Paris with all amenities near by, including a full organic supermarket. The underground is within a minute and there are loads of Taxis, bikes or electric scooters near-by as this is a lively area. The flat is on the 3rd floor but with no lift, I didn't find it problematic. If you idea of Paris is "Emily in Paris", you might be disappointed as the area is real Parisian and neither gentrified nor bourgeois. But for a true Paris experience in all comfort, it is highly recommended. I will come back, it's a great find.
