We stayed with Laurent for nine days at the end of July. We wanted to experience 'living' in Paris as a local and Laurent's flat was perfect for us (four adults). The location was great; we walked most places into the City and back, but also used the Met. There are three very close stations to the flat, as well as buses. Lots of shops nearby for buying food supplies and eating out. The flat was very roomy and fitted out very well for a self catered stay. The only thing we needed extra was a fan as Paris was very hot and the flat does not have air conditioning. Laurent brought a fan around to us as soon as we asked and that did the trick. The steps up to the fifth floor were not a problem for us. We knew that ahead of time when booking and it was OK. Marie-Claire met us when we arrived she and Laurent gave us a bottle of wine, which was very much appreciated. I can recommend Laurent's flat to others and would stay there again.
