Laurent’s place is true to the photos and in a very nice authentic area. Not too touristy with many good restaurants and cafes nearby for reasonable prices. The metro is a quick walk and can take you almost anywhere! I loved staying a bit outside the center of the city as we were able to explore the neighborhood and feel a bit more local. However Laurent was very unresponsive and took a long time to respond to messages. The easiest way to correspond with him is through the Airbnb app even though he did provide a cell phone number he never picked up the phone and responded to messages at very odd hours. We ended up figuring everything out ourselves but got check in details the day of, very late which was a little disconcerting. Overall though, the stay was pleasant and the location was great.
