Laurent is a great and generous host. Very kind and welcoming. I was surprised to see his apartment given the view from the street. You climb a series of flights of stairs and go further away from the street all the while. Finally you end up in a fantastic, small, almost neighborhood like, courtyard area, for want of a better word. It’s like a tiered space with lawns and gardens and Laurent has a wonderful wooden patio shaded by grape vines. The room is large enough with a desk and a couple shelf’s to put your clothes. The fan was a life saver on the warmer nights. I do think the pillow could be better though. Other than that I had a great time at Laurent’s.
