Laurence was a great host. She was not able to meet us when we arrived, but had her mother there to greet us and give us all the instructions and that was great. Our fight was delayed and we appreciated her waiting for us to get there. The place was exactly like the pictures and was very neat and clean. We loved the area and were able to walk to many shops and restaurants. My husband even jogged to the Eiffel Tower. It was also very easy to get on the subway and also grab a cab if we needed to. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this apartment if you want to experience the city life of Paris.
