Although we didn't personally meet Nicola, he made sure that we were welcomed into the apartment by one of his friend and he left notes for us explaining the details.

The apartment was tidy and clean (though not super-clean!) and well-stocked (although we couldn't locate the cutlery... but maybe we didn't look hard enough!)

We found the bed quite hard for our backs, and we felt a little bruised by the end because of it. Although it was quite warm, the apartment was very airy so that was great.

The neighbourhood is calm and quiet, with a useful number of shops and restaurants/cafes, but the apartment is very close to a metro station, making it very easy to get into central Paris.
