Lauren's place is very nice. It is very kid friendly with plenty of toys for the kids. He also has wifi inside this flat, as well as cable TV. His place is also equipped with a washer/dryer in case you need to wash some clothes. There's a market just around the corner in case you want to buy groceries, and the train station is nearby that you can take and drop you off very close to the Eiffel Tower (I think it was a 45 min to 1 hour train ride). Laurent met us at his place showed us around and helped me with parking as I had a rental car. For you drivers, there are spots where you can park but if you want to visit the sites I recommend parking in longer term parking as you will have to pay the meter near his place about every 3 hours max between the hours of 0700 and 1900 I think. 24 hour secure parking is about .3 miles from the flat and cost about 29 euro for 24 hours. All in all I very much liked Laurents place and highly recommend it for families!
