Laurent was an amazing host. The place was small, but cozy, spotless, really easy to heat up and it had everything we needed (including an adapter and an umbrella!) He sent directions about getting to the place from the train station; always replied very quickly and looked after some of our bags the last day after check out, so we wouldn't have to carry them around Paris.
The neighbourhood was amazing and Laurent had great suggestions about bakeries, sights, etc.
