We had a wonderful holyday in Paris, hosted by Laurent. We did not meet him, but his friend Jean-Marc was very responsive and helpful. The apartment is just renowed, nice and clean, just a bit small for 5 to 6 people, good for 4 people. There's a folding table that hardly fits in the livingroom. There are few small windows looking in an open space with garbage bins.
The kitchen is fully equipped for a short staying.
Easy to self check-in/out. There is no safe box. Wifi is present but not very stable. Gare de l'Est is very close with metro and trains to take you everywhere very quickly. If we should come again to Paris we would surely choose this apartment again.
