The apartment is situated in a very nice area, really close to the metro station Alesia. All major attractions are accessible in a very short time. The location seems very safe and we felt secure, even when coming back to the apartment late in the night. There is a cafe bar just across the street, a supermarket 2 minutes away and a shop with fresh fruit just when you exit the building.
We did not meet Laurent but a friend of his was waiting for us to present the apartment and to give us the keys. He waited for us for a while because our flight had some delay. He was very polite and nice.
The apartment was clean and in our opinion it is really well suited for 3 or max 4 persons. It is well equipped and feels very cozy. It was a nice experience for us and I can say we were very happy with the choice we made.
Laurent was very helpful, we could communicate with him by phone whenever we had questions to ask. He is very reactive and serious.
All in all, we recommend this apartment and Laurent. For us , we could not ask for more :).
