This apartment is perfect for first time visitors to Paris, as its fairly central to most attractions. The Louvre/Siene River about 30 minute walk, or you could take an uber for about 5 euro. Its located near the subway, and a bunch of great restaurants and bars, so there is no shortage of food and drinks in the area. Nicolas was a great host, though we did not meet him, it was very easy to get into the apartment, and any questions we had, he was very responsive to. Getting to and from the airport is fairly easy, just a 30 min uber ride with traffic. The apartment is on the 5th floor, but we didn't mind the exercise. Overall great value, and I would recommend anyone staying with Nicolas.
