We loved our stay at Laurent's place. There was a slight delay in getting the keys (as his friend was still at work) but it ended up being no problem and gave us a chance to enjoy a bottle of wine across the street at Mon Titi. The apartment was cozy and charming with a very comfy bed and luxurious bath towels. We really enjoyed the security of the building with its double doors at the entrance. The neighborhood ended up being a perfect fit for us within close proximity to tons of restaurants and lots of buzz. A bit noisy at night if you left the windows open but nothing that would keep you up after a long night. Bike rental racks nearby made it easy to get around the city and the apartment was central to museums and other attractions. Overall, we loved it! And would definitely choose to stay here again when back to Paris.
