All the great things people have said about Laure are true times a million. We are even hesitant to write the glowing review this apartment deserves because we want it to be available the next time we are in Paris! Here goes, anyway.
We arrived at the apartment door, right across from the Pompidou museum, and were greeted with a chorus of "hello's" from Laure's 2 cute daughters, poking their heads out the tall windows a floor above the street level. Laure came down to let us in and, despite our insistence that Daisy's suitcase was too heavy for her to carry for us, she swooped it up and carried it up the stairs like it was filled with cotton balls. Maybe something to do with the gym across the street?
Walking into the apartment there was a "Bronwen and Daisy's Home" chalkboard sign hung on the inner door. There were touches like that, including fresh flowers in a vase on the mantlepiece, that was commonplace in this home. I was even allowed to play the guitar in the bedroom!
The customized recommendations of restaurants and local places that Laure texted me, with links, could have been bound and put in the form of a small travel guide. To say she was responsive would be a profound understatement. Laure even offered to come over in the middle of the night to help us free our clothes from the locked up Washing/drying machine after I had interrupted it's drying cycle. Do not interrupt it's cycle. It does not like that.
Location, location, location. We think it's the best part of Paris to stay because there are so many things to see and do, close proximity to the Seine, and access to the metro. It's a fun but busy area and yet the apartment is unbelievably restful. The pictures on the profile don't do it justice. The contrast of clean white walls with rich warm wood tones outlines a space of skillful and elegant design. The bed is big and comfortable with quality bedding. The rainfall showerhead is amazing...and on and on.
Yep. We loved it. We'll be back.
