We had a wonderful stay at Laurence's beautifully decorated apartment. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was spacious. While the apartment is on a busy street, with the windows closed, the rooms are very quiet. Laurence was very accommodating allowing us to check in early as we had arrived early after an overnight flight from the United States. I highly recommend Laurence's apartment to someone interested in staying in the 5th arrondissement. (N.B. The apartment is up two flights of stairs, which was not a problem for my family, but may be for some people.)
