Laurent was a very kind and gracious host. He missed his train to meet us as we had a late arrival. He spoke great English. The apartment is on the 5th floor with no elevator but this is typical of Paris. ;)
The apartment was very spatious for Paris! A living room, kitchen, shower and toilet, and separate bedroom with a very comfortable bed! (Not a fouton like most Paris apartments.)
Very clean and the view on the small balcony was lovely. The metro is a 5 min walk away and this apartment is in an African neighborhood.
It's very safe and a wonderful sense of community in the afternoon.
Parking is limited to street parking and can be hard to find late at night do eat to be without a car. We almost got our car towed as we were in a no park zone and didn't realize it. ;)
Laurent is a wonderful host who is attentive and responded back very quickly and was very helpful with all questions. Even went out for a drink one evening with him and he taught me how to use the city paris bikes. Overall a great experience! Thanks so much to Laurent!
