Laurent is a class act. He was extremely communicative and hospitable. As soon as I walked in he offered us a cold glass of water as he could tell I was exhausted from my travels. The flat is laid back and in a quiet safe neighborhood with a convenience store next door. The metro station is literally 2 min walk from the flat. The flat is about 20-30 mins metro ride from tourist attractions. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants near the flat.
