My friends and I had a short but lovely stay at Nicolas’s. Firstly, the location was perfect (good value)!! It’s very close to Gare du Nord and had a bus stop at the doorstep. The neighborhood had a few quality boulangeries and bistros around which we enjoyed.
Secondly, the room was cozy and very nicely decorated with warm lighting, fairy lights, and books. It was suitably spacious - just about right for 3 people. Nicolas had mentioned an extra heater, but we didn’t have to use it at all since the room was nice and warm. :)
Thirdly, the bathroom, kitchen, living room and other amenities were mostly new / well-maintained, and user-friendly.
Despite our little hiccup at check-in, Nicolas was very accommodating and generous. We would come back again if we could!
