Nicolai was a very gracious host! Location is perfect to get around by foot, bus or metro. We explored so much of Paris very easily! Nicolai was very responsive and very helpful during our stay! Would highly recommend!

This was an awesome stay. Nicolai is a great host and individual. The apartment was exceptionally clean and had everything you could need.The apartment is a great distance from the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, as well as the metro. Good restaurants, bakeries, and opportunities around. When I’m back in Paris, I would stay here again!

Very helpful host, thank you

Our host Nicolai was very helpful, right form booking to coming to meet us on arrival. The room is a cleverly converted chambre do bonne (maid's room). This means a climb up 5 flights of steep stairs. Fine with us but could present challenges for older/less able folk . Nicolai helped us with luggage up and down. AS you would expect in a Paris building, the stairs and corridor to the room are not maintained, paint is peeling, carpets worn. But the lightst work and there is a bannister. The room itself is small but has a sofa, a comfortable double bed (two separate mattresses) which is very comfortable. For this looking to self-cater the kitchen is cleverly done and has a fridge and hob. The bathroom has plenty of hot water and a compactor attached to the loo as the plumbing is fragile. No TP down the toilet so sanitary arrangements are in place. Good shower. The main challenge for us was that the room has no windows - it has two deep-set skylights high above the ceiling. This means that there is natural light during the day but no view or proper cross-draught. The windows close automatically when it rains but need re-opening manually to allow air in. As were there dur9ng a heat wave followed by thunder storms, this situation presented some challenges. Nicolai provides a fan but when it is really hot, this just pushes the hot air around. I doubt there is a practical solution to this, but visitors should check the weather forecast before confirming!
