I stayed at Laura's place for a week; a few years ago, I stayed there for a month. I had a great stay, as expected. Laura is very easy to communicate with and the apartment has everything you need. I love the location so close to the 5 metro line and the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. There is some street noise (e.g., sirens, cars, etc.), so would bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to that. The apartment is on the 5th floor by US counting and there is no elevator, so mobility should be taken into account. If you are comfortable climbing stairs, then this should not pose a problem. Overall, I highly recommend Laura's apartment for 1-2 people who want to get to know less touristy areas of Paris. (Getting to those areas is very easy though because the apartment is so close to the 5 metro line.)
