We had a great time in Paris. We stayed at Laurent's handsome flat for 4 nights. There were 7 of us, my wife and I plus 5 kids. Staying at Laurent's place allowed us to experience Paris like locals. Laurent's place is walking distance to all the conveniences one would need while visiting this fair city - the Metro, cafes, bakeries, cheese stores, grocery store, pharmacy, phone stores, even a McDonald's (hahaha). It is in a quiet street. We felt very safe even when walking at midnight. The only thing I would stress is that the flat is at the top floor, a 5th floor walk-up. It has big windows and a rooftop terrace which afford an open view of city's landscape. It would be difficult for those with problems going up stairs. Otherwise, I highly recommend this address. Laurent is an accommodating and gracious host. Merci beaucoup.
