Laurence was very welcoming - she greeted us with an aperitif and a rose (for our wedding anniversary). We had the run of the apartment and our own set of keys, so we could come and go as we pleased. The bed was comfortable and the shower good. The location in Le Marais was splendid - all of French culture just outside the door - great restaurants and bars, shops of all descriptions and easy access to the Metro and less than a mile to Notre Dame. All in all Laurence was a lovely host and her apartment was a really nice place to stay
