Nico was a great host. When we arrived we just gave him a call and he met us at the apartment within minutes! The apartment was everything I could have hoped for in Paris. Very clean, charming and comfortable. If it says anything, when we got back to NYC I started redecorating because I loved Nico's apartment so much! As soon as we walked in he had Jazz playing and showed us everything we needed to know in the apartment. It was the perfect greeting. The location of the apartment was perfect, right next to museums and shopping. We ate in so many cute little cafes and got to take in the amazing city. We happened to be in Paris on one of the hottest weekends I think they've ever had (was 103F) and being outside was unbearable during the day. We took refuge in the apartment. Even though it doesn't have air conditioning it still felt very cool. At night, I opened the large windows in the living room, listened to jazz and just watched the people walking the streets, I felt right at home!
