I really enjoyed my stay here! Laurence is a great host and was very helpful when checking in. She also has a little book she made with directions to various places (like grocery stores), tips on restaurants to try, and even an itinerary for seeing ths most important sites in Paris. The apartment building is very quiet (I hardly saw or heard other people while I was there) and the location is wonderful -- close to galeries de lafayette (if you're into shopping and have the budget for it) and also close to a metro station that can take you all over the city. Overall a great place to stay!
