Laurent's place was a great place to stay for our two week trip as a first time visitor in Paris. Two metro lines were in walkable distances which got us to all of our Paris destinations in about 30 minutes. There is plenty of coffee shops, delicious restaurants, convenient/grocery stores and pharmacies in the neighborhood. Laurent's place was comfortable for our group 4. The apartment had everything we needed, such as hot running water, heaters, extra towels, cleaning supplies and working appliances. Although we spent most of our time away from the apartment enjoying Paris and all its wonderful locations, we always had a good night's rest in Laurent's apartment. I would highly recommend Laurent's place if you are looking to stay outside of the tourist neighborhoods. We really enjoyed staying in a neighborhood that felt quiet and less crowded.
