Nicole's apartment is beautiful and in a very posh neighborhood of Paris. The furnishings are first class and this is an extremely spacious place which is absolutely rare to find in this city. Everything was meticulously clean upon arrival, beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. There is a metro stop within a 5 minute walk to catch the RER to get into the center of town and also there are a couple small food markets as well as a pharmacy, both also within a 5 minute walk of the apartment. Our only complaint was that the wifi signal was essentially non-existent in the second bedroom (no problem elsewhere in the flat) and, while the TV in the master bedroom received US channels, the one in the second bedroom did not, so if you have kids who may expect to be able to watch US programming while staying in the second room, they cannot. Not a big deal by any means, but worth noting. Otherwise, the stay was extremely pleasant, Nicole is a gracious hostess and kept in constant communication with us before, during and after our stay in Paris. I would absolutely recommend her place to anyone requiring spacious accommodations and who wants to be in a nice area of town.
