Laurent is very friendly, and provided wonderful tips and suggestions. Perfect host! He had someone very nice meet me at the apartment that showed me the building and apartment.
The apartment is exactly as pictured. Very stylish and quaint - perfect for one person (would be a bit tight for 2 people). The location is about 4 blocks from the metro, and a quick transfer from the airport train. Only concern I had, which I didn't know at first, is the shower window is facing the hallway windows. So there's little privacy. Other than that, the apartment is great.
