i have just spend an unbelievably amazing week in paris, and i have Nicolas's apartement to thank for it. from the first minute i entered i felt this was my home away from home. so on top of being a good base in the technical sense (comfortable, great location, metro, supermarket and so on) it was also a good "emotional base" to explore the city with an open heart, knowing that you have a home to return to when you are tired. in addition, Nicolas has been very helpfull and responsive, so even though i am traveling alone, i felt there was someone i could turn to if i ran into trouble.
the kitchen is extremely well equipped, which is important if like me, you don't like eating out too much. ecologists will find here a little something extra (with a lot of organic and eco-friendly stuff) as will musicians.
check out the changing market in "place anvers" only 10-15 min walk.
there is one problem with this place- you will never want to leave it!
