Staying at Nicole’s place was great! The room may be small BUT for that price it has amazing amenities! Having a private bathroom (with a fairly size shower and hot water!) connected to the bedroom is truly amazing and the convertible sofa turns into a very comfortable double bed-that has a regular matters-! The neighborhood is truly beautiful, it’s around 15-20mins on feet from arc de triumph and the metro and bus stop are right next to the place -which makes it easier since you don’t have to drag your suitcase all over Paris-, also near the apartment are supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, etc! The only downside was that you cant cook your own food since it doesn’t have a cooker/stove, only provides microwave, electric kettle and a toaster, but for the size of the apartment you’ll understand why.. if you’re two people it will be little crowded but if you’re traveling solo it’s a great place not only for the size/price but for feeling secure as well!
