I loved my three-week stay in this apartment and neighborhood. Guillaume (on Laurène’s behalf) was easy to communicate with before and during my stay, answered all of my questions, and provided clear instructions.
APARTMENT
The apartment is just as pictured...open, sunny and bright throughout the day. The roof top view is eastern from the living room window by the orange chair. Light floods in in the morning or the curtains block it sufficiently for sleeping in. Multiple lamps provide options for ambient or bright light at night. The bedroom has plenty of shelf and hanging storage for clothes (clearly responding to another reviewer’s feedback). The bed is large and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped for tea drinkers with an electric kettle and many tea options. A little less so for coffee addicts like myself. I used the Bodum French Press once.
LOCATION
The immediate area felt as if I were living amongst Parisians as evidenced by parents with their children, people walking their dogs, and customers lined up in the evening at the boulangerie to buy baguettes. There were numerous places in the area to buy fresh food (exceptionally fresh smelling) and l’orange pressée to consume at home and many restaurant options to eat out.

Within the radius of a 15 minute or less walk are Gare du Nord, Montmartre, Sacre-Coeur, and several metro stations. I felt safe even when returning alone late at night from a Eurostar trip because there were enough “eyes on the street” with the nearby outdoor seating restaurants that are open late.
I booked Laurène’s cosy and comfortable apartment after what I thought was the perfect place (with terrace, Nespresso, multiple sleeping spaces) was canceled. That cancellation was a blessing. While the footprint is small, the apartment did not feel claustrophobic for two when my brother visited for a week for his first trip to Paris. He loved it and the location as well. I was exceedingly pleased with Laurène’s cheerful, cosy, comfortable apartment. It’s my perfect Parisian getaway and I would love to stay there again in future.
