Laurent was a a highly responsive and supportive host. The apartment is truly so conveniently located close to groceries, pharmacies, restaurants, shopping and the metro....and the apartment has all the amenities. The weather waffled between being very hot to very cold and rainy when we were in Paris but because the apartment has all the facilities of A/C, heat, hot water etc it all worked out great and we were very comfortable. Coming from the US, I was unclear on how to operate a portable AC as well as the dryer however Laurent was very helpful in answering my many questions in a timely manner.
