Nicolas was a fantastic host! Very quick with responding to all my questions and needs! His instructions and information folder that he has in his flat are so thorough and very easy to follow! Unfortunately our schedules clashed and we didn't have a chance to meet him but he was kind enough to make a couple of attempts, which really made us see how much he values his guests. The location! Oh the location! I really scored picking his flat! It is in the best area! Marais is amazing! Restaurants, cafes, and shops right outside the gate! I couldn't have asked for more. A 5 min walk to the metro and uber is so accessible also not to mention so many great places within walking distance. I was originally looking for something closer to the Eiffel Tower but now I know, that Marais is my favorite area hands down. All the best restaurants are there and as an avid foodie, that's everything lol. Away from the huge tourist crowds but still so lively with both tourists and locals alike. It made us feel like locals ourselves! Glad we we were away from all the tourists traps as well! Nicolas, his flat, and the area are all a great package deal! He also left us a nice bottle of champagne to kick off our short visit in Paris! Would definitely stay there again!
