The apartment is impeccably well maintained and Laura is a thoughtful and responsive host. The space is not large, but it's more than adequate for a single guest, and all the basic amenities are provided in good working order. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen and bathroom well equipped, and the shady view from up in the trees above Avenue Jean Jaurès is splendid. The Canal de l'Ourcq is a short walk away, as is the beautiful Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. A metro entrance is across the street. As a frequent visitor to Paris and in particular the 19th arrondissement, I recommend Laura's place in the highest terms -- and hope to return on my next visit.
