We had a wonderful visit to Paris, and Laurent's place couldn't have served us better. He was a fantastic host. He greeted us personally and showed us all around the apartment (I think he was in town for work). He made us feel very at home, and the space was everything we needed for being in Paris. We didn't do any cooking because he's near so many good restaurants and cafes. He gave us good recommendations and helpful hints on food. He also gave us some staples to have coffee and tea and biscuits ourselves in the mornings. Very nice. The apartment was nice and cool, and so quiet! Yes, it is a lot of stairs, but because we are able to do it, we actually appreciated them for exercise! It was good because we ate so many chocolate croissants. :-)
The neighborhood is safe, quiet, clean. There are nearby busses and metro stations, so it's a great place to stay. The restaurants nearby are good prices too.
We had a bit of problems with the wifi, but Laurent went out of his way to accommodate us and help us fix the problem. He really was so nice and even accommodated more Go space on the wifi because of a misunderstanding on how the data package worked.
We would stay there again for sure!
