Laure was a lovely & gracious host. I made an error in our arrival time, so we arrived 2 hours earlier than I had told her. Nevertheless, Laure welcomed us graciously and allowed us to leave our luggage and change before heading into the city for the afternoon. My husband and I were traveling with our 3 teenage children, so we were grateful to be able to leave our luggage behind.

Laure left us a bottle of wine & a wheel of cheese for our stay -- what a lovely touch.

The location of Laure's flat is ideal for travel via Gare du Nord. We arrived by Eurostar from London, and then departed by RER to Charles de Gaulle. We were glad to be near the station. During our stay, we found the location ideal. It is just a 2 min walk to the La Chapelle Metro station, which made getting around the city by Metro and RER quite easy. The neighborhood is diverse and interesting. We arrived back to the flat many nights after midnight and felt comfortable walking to the flat from the Metro.

Laure's home is beautiful. It is a 3rd floor (American: 4th floor) walk-up. Be sure to open the large windows to get a cross-breeze in the summertime. What a lovely and spacious flat! My husband and I were in the King bed. My sons took the two twin beds in the other bedroom. And my daughter used the pull-out sofa/futon in the living room. Plenty of space for all of us. Well-equipped kitchen. Grocery stores nearby. Restaurants nearby as well, though we did not stay near for meals. I would not hesitate to return to Laure's flat or recommend it to friends & family.
