Once again my airbnb experience has far exceeded all my expectations! Nicola is an awesome host, chef (if you're lucky enough. In fact I learnt quite a bit from observing him, as he is qualified chef!) and friend. He showed the best places to have a drink in mont matre and gave me advice on what to see in Paris, which is invaluable in such a busy city. The bed, room, kitchen and apartment are perfect and have all that I needed. Very comfortable. The apartment is a short walk, bike ride or train to all the destinations you'll want to see. I really liked the area and preferred it to the more touristy areas of Paris. My tip for Paris is to sight see after 10pm on one of the easy to rent bikes. They all look so much better lit up in the middle of the night. You'll generally have it all to yourself and not have to deal with any big crowds. I cannot rate this highly enough. Thanks again Nicola! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
