Laeticia's apartment was just what j was after. It was close to a metro station as well as cafes and stores where it was possible to buy wonderful fresh produce. The apartment has a lovely cafe directly across the road and excellent restaurants nearby. I particularly loved sitting on the balcony in the evening where it is possible to see both the Eiffel Tower and The Sacre-Coér. The apartment is walking distance from Monmatre. I appreciated staying in an area not crowded with other tourists but where it was possible to see the daily life of Parisians. The apartment is on the top floor and there is no elevator, so a lot of steps. I didn't have a problem with this though!
Unfortunately I was unable to meet Laeticia, however she communicates well by email, left helpful instructions and arranged for a lovely friend to let me in when I arrived.
Would be happy to stay here again.
