My only regret about Laure’s flat is not spending more time there. It is quintessentially Parisian with lots of natural light and striking views of Belleville. The bed is very comfortable and the open layout of the bathroom is both stylish and pragmatic. The neighborhood is one of the most happening in all of Paris, with vibrant energy and diversity filling its streets, bars, cafes and brasseries. Laure also serves a great breakfast with freshly baked croissants she picks up in the morning among other goodies. Finally, I truly enjoyed my conversations with her about the history of Paris and French culture in general. If you’re looking for an authentic Parisian experience, look no further.
