I had a very pleasant stay at Nicholas's flat. The neighbourhood is fantastic, right by the Canal St Martin, with lots of great restaurants and bars, and really close to two different metro stations. Nicholas met me right when I arrived and gave me all of the information for the apartment.

There was an initial frustration as I had searched specifically for a flat with Wifi, and Nicholas let me know only when I arrived that the Wifi was not working, which was a panic for me as I was also working on this trip. However, I ended up being able to access the wifi on my phone (just not my laptop, so I was able to make due and it forced me to work less, which was good:) All's well that ends well.

Overall, it was a great stay in a cozy flat in a great neighbourhood!
