Clean and accommodating! Check-in was straightforward with the provided instructions. I didn't need to contact Nicolas, but he made himself available on the airbnb chat. Be mindful of the location of this property. Although close to the metro, it wasn't particularly close to the larger public markets and the major tourist destinations. Going up the three flights of stairs each time wasn't great either, but that's normal here. Also, the laundry is indeed shared with at least one other apartment, but it didn't bother me. Overall, it was a great stay and it had everything I needed.
