Laurent's place was fantastic!
There were no problems finding the apartment, and it is situated on the top floor which means you also get a really nice rooftop patio with views!
The apartment itself is very spacious, has lots of light, is warm, and has all the amenities you could want. There was even a music room with a grand piano, with a ton of sheet music, so if you play or dabble, this is an extra charming bonus.
The area had a very good selection of fromageries, wine shops, and boulangeries for the quintessential baguette or croissant - you wouldn't go hungry here! It was also easy to get to the centre via Gambetta station.
