For the location, Laurent's place is an excellent choice with regard to easy access to the Eiffel Tower as well as super close to public transit. There are grocery stores nearby and a 24 hour store 11 minute walk away. He was always quick to respond and very helpful.
The only drawback is more for the females. I didn't have a problem myself, but my girlfriend did not like that the shower and toilet were shared with other rooms on the floor. A simple solution that I saw was a couple guarded the shower door as their partner showered.
Overall, this place was a steal of a deal and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the heart of Paris. I myself would stay there again.
