This was my best AirBNnB experience yet! Nicolas is THE BEST HOST! As soon as we booked, he reached out to let us know that the apartment would be freshly renovated when we arrived and wanted to make sure that that wouldn't be an inconvenience for us. He stayed in constant communication before and during our stay, and left explicit instructions for EVERYTHING in the apartment so we never had to figure out on our own how anything worked. He made sure we had fresh towels halfway through our 6 night stay, and left us with a couple nice treats in the fridge to thank us for staying and to congratulate us on our engagement. He provided us with his expert advice on some night spots we were interested in and was just so friendly and attentive the entire time! The apartment itself is exquisite and better than any hotel i could have imagine in that we felt truly at home and comfortable. Anything you could consider needing is there and you truly are in the center of everything. Every place we went in and around Paris, we were able to get to quickly from one of the 3 or 4 Metro stations within a 10 minute walk of the apartment. And truly, you don't even have to leave the neighborhood and still have an amazing experience! As this was my first time abroad, i was a little nervous about everything, but Nicolas sincerely made me feel like I had a friend in the city that was going to make sure everything was ok, and that meant so much. It was a magical trip- far beyond my dreams- and I have Nicolas and his amazing apartment to thank for a lot of that. I cannot wait to go back and to stay at Nicolas' again!!
