Nicolas's place is located in an up-and-coming neighborhood, two blocks away from the historic streetcar that you can take into and all around the city. His home was clean, had a shared bathroom/kitchen area, and offered a good amount of privacy in your own bedroom. Nicolas is great at adapting to your needs - he let us check ourselves in late at night and even helped us out when we accidentally locked ourselves out of our room. He was not in the area at the time of our stay, but we were able to get in touch with his local contacts who were kind and helpful.
