Nick was a wonderful host! He accepted my very-last-minute room request and even arranged to meet me at the metro, walk me to his apartment, carry one of my bags, and point out highlights of the neighborhood. The room and private bathroom were clean and neat, with everything I needed. Nick offered use of the fridge, and even provided me with a large bottle of water. He was friendly and welcoming and very accommodating. The apartment is very centrally located, quite close to the metro. The only downside was that I had trouble falling asleep Saturday night because I went to bed early and am a light sleeper, and there was a band playing in a restaurant or bar a few doors down. So, if you're a light sleeper and go to bed early, you might want earplugs on a weekend night. But I highly recommend Nick and his apartment!
