My family and I had a wonderful week in Paris, and Laurence was a great host. She gave us directions on how to get to the apartment from the airport, which was helpful, and after we arrived she gave us walking directions to the nearest market, which was right round the corner. She also left us bread, milk, butter, and jam from her own garden, which was delicious. The apartment itself is exactly as listed. It is small but my husband and myself and our two children (11 and 8) had no trouble staying here. The kids slept on the pullout couch in the living room area and my husband and I took the bedroom. The apartment was clean and very quiet. We hardly ever heard any neighbors making noise. There are large closets in the bedroom for clothes and suitcases to keep the bedroom neat. The apartment is within quick walking distance of a metro stop off of line 12. We were able to get around very easily. There are many restaurants in the area and many things to walk around and see. I loved having a washing machine and being able to have breakfast and a few dinners at "home" when the kids were worn out. All in all, I would highly recommend this host and this apartment. Thanks, Laurence!
