Laurence was at the apartment to provide a gracious welcome and to give us a full tour of this lovely apartment. She ensured that we were completely familiar with apartment and the building. The apartment is beautifully decorated and well equipped. In fact we loved the space so much that each day it was a challenge to decide if we wanted to tour Paris, because that would mean leaving the comfort and beauty of the apartment! The kitchen was efficient and well equipped and we enjoyed preparing many meals there. The location is perfect, as there is shopping in easy walking distance and we were able to acquire all kinds of tasty Parisienne delights to enjoy. Laurence also gave us good suggestions about where to shop, in particular the Wed. market was amazing! We were in Paris during some of the hottest weather in 60 years, and while the apartment was not air condtioned, opening the beautiful patio doors at the front of the unit and both bedroom doors, we had a lovely cross breeze that kept us nice and cool. The building is also very well kept and secure and in a great location for geting around Paris. Close to the Metro and easy walking to lots of great spots too. We highly recommend this beautiful place. Many thanks to Laurence for being such a kind hostess.
