Laurent's apartment is nestled in a great neighborhood, with tons of great cafés, bakeries, and other restaurants. It was perfect for our family of six: my spouse and I, our two kids (11- and 13-year olds), and my in-laws. The elevator worked well for my mother-in-law, who has a hard time with stairs. Laurent was very accommodating to our schedule, and the check-in and check-out processes were no problem. Laurent has detailed instructions to enter the building, which seem daunting at first but become second nature very quickly. His recommendation booklet is great, particularly Le Petit Château d'Eau to sit down and eat, and Du Pain et des Idées for your morning bread & pastries. Many attractions are within a 30 minute walk, such as the Louvre and Notre-Dame, and there is a metro station nearby for longer excursions. There are grocery stores close by, and a great set of appliances in the apartment, if you want to eat in sometimes. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
