Laurent was the perfect host! The apartment is immaculate, with lots of style, design and personality. He's done it all with a 1950's touch and it's an instant 'coming home' feel.
We got to Paris pretty exhausted after a long flight from Vietnam, and Laurent was very welcoming and kind, and helped us to get our computer working (he even went out to help us find the right kind of power adapter on a Sunday morning). He's also checked back with us a couple of times during our 12 day stay to make sure we had everything we needed and that the temperature was good and all. Also we could have reached him easily if needed.
The apartment itself is very quite and feels private, and the neighborhood has lots of little eateries and hang out places; sub station 'Charonne' is only 3 minutes walk away. The kitchen is well equipped and we've made quite a few meals there; standard markets to buy whatever you may need are within a few minutes walk (including a place called 'Naturalis' on Bd Voltaire if you prefer your veggies etc organic). Wifi was always working and pretty fast.
We loved our stay and would definitely love to stay there again when in Paris!
