What an amazing trip! We just returned from a lovely 6-night stay in Paris. It was magnificent - and we owe so much of that to Nico. His cozy and stylish apartment was the perfect "home base" for us. It was wonderful. The neighborhood was absolutely wonderful - so many fantastic restaurants and boulangeries! And the location cannot be beat - we walked to Notre Dame, the Louvre and even the Opera Garnier. The apartment is also extremely close to a major subway/RER hub - so we could get everywhere else we wanted to go with ease. We did not need to take a cab anywhere.
Nico was the most gracious host, greeting us upon arrival, providing travel/dining tips and lots of amenities. It was really a most wonderful stay. The next time we return to Paris, we will ask to stay with Nico again. It was an experience I will never forget!
