We loved our stay at Laurent's place. It's a really quirky apartment, we didn't mind the stairs at all (but you do need to be fairly fit to manage them). The space, especially the living room was fabulous - really light and airy. I expect in warmer weather the roof terrace would've been a real bonus (we were there in rainy December). Bathroom facilities are not luxurious, but are what you'd expect from such an old and interesting property - certainly not enough to put us off loving the apartment. We also really liked the area, lots of lovely bars and restaurants, it had a real neighbourhood feel. It took us an hour (with young children) to walk into central Paris, but Metro and bus travel was very easy. Laurent's communication was superb, he was really responsive and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Laurent, I'd highly recommend a stay in your great home.
