Nicolas was a great host! He was very communicative and even accommodated a change of arrival time. The flat itself is lovely and comfortable. It is exactly as pictured and quite spacious for a Paris apartment (I Airbnb in Paris several times/year, so I've seen lots of apartments). I also really liked the location as it was just of the hip rue Oberkampf. It's not exactly central, but I spend a lot of my time in the 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th and 11th, so this apartment worked perfectly for me. There is also public transportation within easy walking distance. There are tons of markets, shops, cafes and bars in the neighborhood as well and Nicolas very kindly recommended several of his favorites. The only caveat with the apartment is that the stairs are steep and the walls are a bit on the thin side (though the latter is the case with almost every apartment I've stayed in in Paris). I definitely recommend Nicolas' place and intend to come back myself.
