Nicolas' apartment is a beautiful gem of a place. It is located in a gritty part of Paris, Belleville (which I love very much). Once off the street you are in an oasis of calm. The apartment is beautifully decorated and the large lounge/ dining room is very comfortable. There are two good bedrooms ( the sofa bed in the second bedroom is very comfortable). .The tiny kitchen works perfectly and is a pleasure to cook in. The flat is located in a lively mixed neighbourhood with lots of shops - butchers, bakers, vegetable - close by. There are also lots of cafes and restaurants within 10 minutes walk. There is a delightful little park around the corner where children play and people grow vegetables, and the beautiful Parc des Buttes de Chaumont is a 10/15 minute walk away. Nicolas' instructions on how to get into the flat and how to operate the wifi/ tv/ etc were very clear and helpful. All in all highly recommended!
