The location is ideal, right next to Louis Blanc Metro station and a short walk from Stalingrad Metro station, meaning all the Paris tourist spots are within easy access. Lots of places to eat locally, and a few grocery stores too. A great spot to adventure from. Place is very secure, so if that's a concern for you at all - it won't be at Laurence's. Beautiful view from the top floor, with the Eiffel Tower in the distance and the sun setting behind the Sacre Coeur. Pool was fun also. Overall a fabulous stay.
