We recently stayed in Laure's apartment and had a wonderful time in Paris. I never got the chance to meet Laure but she responded promptly to any questions that I had through the Airbnb messaging service. She also left us a welcome package that outlines the neighborhoods of Paris, sights she recommended, as well as the location of restaurants and grocery stores in the area. Laure's mother was there upon our arrival and showed us around the apartment, showed us how to work the dishwasher and washing machine, and ensured that we were comfortable. The flat was spacious and comfortable.
The flat is located a bit far from the "tourist" area of Paris, but it's very close to a metro and RER stop which made getting around easy. However it's definitely possible to walk to the Eiffel Tower etc if you are up for the trek.
