Laurent'a place is very central, we walked in just 15 minutes from the Eurostar. He kindly let us leave our luggage during the day. We were disappointed that the basement room had a strong smell of mildew which was unpleasant, the towels provided were (all but one) hand towels so recommend taking your own and the bedding hadn't been dried properly - we tried to sleep without the duvet the first night because of this. I'd recommend the person staying in the front room takes ears plugs as it's very noisy both from street noise and people entering the building.
