Nicolas and his mother are both amazing, kind and so considerate! We received fast and helpful responses to all questions before the trip, and didn’t need anything once there because everything was exactly as promised. Nicolas and his mother went out of their way to let us come very early to the apartment, which was a huge plus because our flight arrived in the morning. Everything was as pictured and described, and the location is perfect. I love walking around the Marais and it’s well located for visiting other popular areas in Paris. The apartment gets beautiful light and breezes with the windows open. It’s mostly peaceful and relaxing although the restaurant downstairs can be noisy during weekend evenings. We loved sleeping with the windows open but it would probably be quieter with them closed. Everything was clean and in working order and we really loved our stay. Keep in mind that the elevator only goes to the floor below, so make sure you can carry your bags up one flight. My only (tiny) complaint is that the bed can be squeaky. I highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay there again! THANKS NICOLAS! xox
